A friend of mine has just received his shiny new LC (he actually ordered a
Classic, but the delivery time was so long he speedily 'upgraded' to a LC! Nice
bit of marketing Apple! :-(
He's also been given an ancient Epson FX-80 printer. So the question is, how
can he connect them up? What cable? What software?
I believe the FX-80 has a parallel port (haven't seen it myself -- do these
beasts have only one port, or do they have both serial & parallel ports as
standard?).
I've heard of the commercial 'Grappler' thingymujig, but what we've got in
mind here is something *free* or *cheap*, using an off-the-shelf cable, if
possible.
Hundreds of you must have done this! Thanks for any help. Please email &
I'll summarise...
