It will allocate a certain amount of memory the first time it is called (you can let it do this during installation of it as accessory with a special file) and then work as an EPSON FX-80 printer - It works pretty well. How much memory does it need? Well, Currently I'm running it with about 700k which is - admittedly - much provided that you have only 1 Meg of memory available. The manual of this software - it's called LASERBRAIN - states that for pure text printing 40 K should do - if you want to use the supplied fonts for printing you need more memory. I ended up using 700k. I got LASERBRAIN for free from Atari, West Germany (I send them a 3.5" disk and got another one back with the emulator, fonts, and manual on it - also included were a configuration file for 1st Word Plus and Adimens). >-- >Thomas Cervera | UUCP: alderaan@tubopal.UUCP >SysMan RKOpdp (RSTS/E) | ...!unido!tub!opal!alderaan (Europe) >D-1000 Berlin 30 | ...!pyramid!tub!opal!alderaan (World) >Motzstrasze 14 | BITNET: alderaan%tubopal@DB0TUI11.BITNET (saves $$$) ---------------------- Smile, tomorrow will be worse! ------------------ X.400: <S=dkhusema;OU=informatik;P=uni-erlangen;A=dbp;C=de> RFC822: dkhusema@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de RFC822: dkhusema@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.dbp.de [BETTER!FASTER!] UUCP: {pyramid,unido}!fauern!immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de!dkhusema -- Beam me up, Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here! -- ------------------- My opinions are mine, mine, mine -------------------
