[comp.sys.cbm] Need info on c64 serial interface

jmh@coyote.uucp (John Hughes) (01/22/91)

First off, thanks to those who responded to my earlier inquiry about
game cartridges for the c64. It is appreciated.

Now I have a different question: I want to use the model MPS801
printer with something other than a Commodore system. But... I
have no idea how one addresses the peripheral devices. Yes, I
understand about synchronous I/O and all that, and I have an
interface ready that should work.

However, I really don't want to buy a $20 book just to find out
what sequence of control codes one sends to this printer to get
it to respond and print. I would really appreciate it if someone
would be willing to make arrangements for me to get this info.

Thanks in advance.

-John
