Hello everyone, I owns GEOS 1.2 and Commodore 128 in 64 mode with Xetec Super Graphix Gold & Gemini 10x. I set up MX-80 printer driver and tried to print a doc file to my printer but it crashed system and gave me "System Error at <garbage> 0596" I downloaded Gemini10x from Quantumlink and I tried print it to printer again. Also it failed same thing and gave me same message! Did you know that my GEOS 1.2 have a bug or not??? How fix it??? I had no idea that to fix it. :-( Please reply me directly because I don't have to access to usenet! -- Tim Stark +==============================================================================+ | Timothy Stark | BitNet: 11TSTARK@GALLUA.BITNET | | Gallaudet University | Internet: 11TSTARK%GALLUA.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU | | P.O.

I cannot help you here, >but you said you have the xetec-senior-whatever-gold interface. I have >been pondering purchasing it. If you don't mind some questons: > >1. How do you like it? Does it have any draw-backs? Yes, I like that Xetec "Super Graphix" Gold printer interface for my commodore 128. :-) I tried to requesta picture and it read a picture from my disk drive directly without use my computer! GREATEST! Also it have over 56 gold commands to this interface. (using open 1,15,4:print#1,..) Also, if a program request autodump to inferface and inferface sent a program to main computer. Also it executed and send a picture back to inferface. You can use LOAD "<command>",4,1. Also it uses many different fonts. Also it supports downloadable fonts!!!! >2. what does it do with special characters (like home, change color, >etc)? Does it print them or does it translate them to the reverse >character? I have cardco g+ and it (frustratingly) translates them.... Yes, it can translates them 100%. Also it will shows mnemonics or graphics mode if you want. You can switcgh toggle. In Mnemonics, it will show [SHFT],[CYAN], etc... GREATEST!!!! Also, it can print the reverse character. >3. How well does it buffer? Yes, It has huge buffers. It has 32K buffers. There are avaliable for text, pictures, and downloadable fonts. >4. Isit worthe the $99 or so? Yes, it is worth the $99.95. (Manfacturer list: 129.95). >If you get this, great! If you answer it GREATER! If I then get the >answer..... GREATEST!!! I am glad that! Then EXTREMELY GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Tim Stark +==============================================================================+ | Timothy Stark | BitNet: 11TSTARK@GALLUA.BITNET | | Gallaudet University | Internet: 11TSTARK%GALLUA.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU | | P.O.

thanks for the info. Looks like it will be worth looking further into. I have a cardco g+ and some of it's "features" are a bit irksome, not to mention not giving bidirectionality to my printer (NEC). I will trust that the xetec has bidirectionality capabilities; well, it doesn't take them away from a printer that has them. It is a bit infuriating to have a printer working at "half speed". Thanks again for the info! All came through OK (I never kno for sure). lou astrix (Lou R.
