Jerry Black asked about a product from Rainbow Technologies which converted the OKIDATA ML-82/83 to a ML-92...well not quite. The product I have from the company is called PC-Writer and it performs functions similar to a ML-92 converted to support IBM-PC/Epson NLQ and graphics. Generally, the product is good, subject to the limitations of the OKIDATA itself. It also does not always behave exactly like the Epson in specialized functions, but it is close. I have had the card for nearly three years. It consists of a small board which clips over the existing ROMS. At the time it was around $100. I have seen the company sell it for $80 recently. I recommend that you call the company. I called them to iron out some early bugs in the firmware and the people graciously sent me two replacement sets of PROMS.
