I don't know about that specific unit but when I bought a Tandy 2-printer switchbox I had to cover pin 38 on the output side... even though I had covered it on the input I found that somehow the Tandy circutry reinserted the hardware line-feed... I always attributed it to Tandy's effort to force you to buy only Tandy peripherals by forcing Tandy standards on everything.... - Joe Applegate - ======================STANDARD DISCLAIMER============================ All views and opinions are my own and do not represent the views or opinions of the Colorado School of Mines, whatever they might be. =====================================================================

Yes, take pin 14 out of the cable, or just tape over it, and he should be home free. Steve The above are my opinions, which NCR doesn't really care about anyway!
