[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Using an MPS803 printer with Amiga 500

ina_craig@actew.oz.au (Craig Alexander) (01/12/91)

I have an Amiga 500. I also have a Commodore Printer MPS803 which I used to use
with my trusty old 64.

I would like to be able to use this printer with my Amiga if possible. All I
really want to do is to print program listings and simple text files.

Two obvious problems are the difference in connections and the that the MPS803
uses the 64's character set which is different to ASCII.

Has any one out there done anything like this or have any ideas on how it could
be done. Note that I am a novice Amiga user technically.

Please reply via email. I will summarise and post any replies for other people
to see.

Thanks

Craig
