Question 1: Do 1.2 drivers run under 1.3 of AmigaDOS. I know that new drivers were released with 1.3 but does that mean all 1.2 drivers are no good under 1.3? Question 2: If indeed 1.3 cannot handle the old drivers does anyone know where there is a 1.3 driver for the Star Micronics Gemini 10X printer. I currently have a 10X which I am using until I get the $$ for a new printer so I will need to have a printer driver when I update to 1.3. I know most everyone updated long ago, I am just slow because I saw no real need to update to 1.3. I just got a hard disk and do not want to use the old file system on it when FFS is available under 1.3. I want to move my system to 1.3 when I install the hard drive but I still need to be able to print or else WordPerfect becomes semi-useless and it is my most used program. Thanks, Tim Harris (tim@mcrware)

It can run with 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 printer drivers although 1.3 drivers are recommend as they are much faster. >Question 2: If indeed 1.3 cannot handle the old drivers does anyone know where >there is a 1.3 driver for the Star Micronics Gemini 10X printer.

See the V1.3 Enhancer manual page 4-8 for the details. Regards, D.B.
