[comp.windows.ms] Panasonic and Video Drivers for Windows NEEDED!!!!

jdb@reef.cis.ufl.edu (Brian K. W. Hook) (02/24/91)

I am in desperate need of Windows drivers for the following things:

Panasonic KXP1180 and KXP1191 printer drivers
Paradise 640x400x256 color video drivers
Packard Bell Legend386SX 800x600x16 color video drivers

The Packard Bell uses the OAK Video BIOS, and I believe the OAK Chipset.
So if anyone knows where this stuff can be found, any help would ne
appreciated.

The KXP1180 and KXP1191 both emulate the IBM proprinter and the 
Epson RX80 depending on the setting of switch eight located 
underneath the printer carriage--up (on?) for the proprinter, down 
for the Epson.  Drivers for both printers are available in Windows.  
The Epson might be preferable since it produces italics.  Better 
solution:  get Adobe Type Manager.  It produces output (in either 
emulation) that is spectacular by comparison.

In an earlier followup I noted that Panasonic 1180s and 1191s 
emulate Epsons RX80s (and FX80s) and Proprinters depending on the 
setting of switch eight.  I've now found that when using ATM the 
switch needs to be down (off) regardless of which of the two you 
use.  The Epson driver is a little slower, but seems to produce 
somewhat better output.
