The subject line basically states what I'm looking for. Given a line
printer interface such as the one supplied with, for example, a VAX 8550, is
there a "magic box" that will convert this to a Centronics interface?
Thanks,
Mike

I'm looking for recommendations on inexpensive (<$400) Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems (both framegrabber and image processing software, if the two aren't bundled together) available for MS-DOS machines. I'm seeking the system purely for home use, to allow for placing passages from books and magazines into electronic format without the tedium of constant typing. 80%-90% accuracy in recognition would be acceptable, but I'd prefer not having to train the system on every new font encountered. Is such a system available, or must I wait 5 years before the technology is available? All comments welcome. Thanks, Nate Osgood

Anyway, I am apparently looking for a Dataproducts-to- Centronics converter. If anyone knows of such a beastie, please let me know.
