Does anyone know how to add the 4K buffer to a star 10X printer, Maybe its's as simple as plugging in some chips?? Lou Dallara mtfma!ltd AT$Tisl Holmdel

Your question was about adding a 4k printer buffer to a Star Gemini 10x... If you are adding the *first* 4k buffer, it comes on an expansion card, is made/offered by Star, and should have installation instruc- tions with it (it's actually easy to do). If you are adding 4k to bring you up to a total of 8k, then all you have to do is plug in the chip(s) to the existing buffer card. As far as my memory (no pun intended) goes, you don't need to fiddle with any DIP switches - but check me to be sure: I've had a weird day! Hope this helps... Keith M.

You may want to re-consider getting a buffer. The printer only buffers up to one line of print. If you do double density graphics, then this could buy you something. But, if you are only doing ascii text, it would be better to get some sort of external buffering device. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lowrey "To vacillate or not to vacillate, that is the question.... ....or is it?" ...!(<sun,cbosgd,ihnp4}!amdahl!dwl10 [ The opinions expressed <may> be those of the author and not necessarily those of his most eminent employer. ]
