Im posting this for my father...
I have myself an amiga, but he uses c64, because
he likes electronics and builds things for it, and...
He bought this Microline printer(used&cheap), that
he can connect to
the rs232c port(well, the almost rs232cport), but
he wants it at the serial port instead, and he
thought of building a buffer thing, a little circuit
that picks up bytes from the serialport, and sends
them on as an rs232c signal.
He knows that this is
- possible
- shooting the sparrow with a cannon(i.e. lots of
work to achieve a relatively "little" thing).
So if anybody had allready done a hack like this, he would
like to hear about it, and also he would like to hear
opinions about it(that it would be stupid to do it, etc.)
