Hi, I used to have a C-64 computer with a MPS-1200. Not too long ago I decided to upgrade to an Amiga, (wise choice :-) and sold the C-64. I was going to sell the MPS-1200 printer, but according to its manual, there is supposed to be a Cartridge that will let me use my MPS-1200 with my Amiga. I went to my Local, Friendly Commodore dealer, and he didn't know what I was talking about. Anyways, what I want to know is if that Cartridge does exist, and where can I get it from?

I too had an MPS-1200 and wanted to use it with my Amiga. I also heard about the fabled cartridge that will allow you to use with the Amiga. So I went down to my local dealer and ordered one. Well, I waited nearly 4 months and they still hadn't got it in yet. This has been nearly a year ago. Shortly afterwords I gave up the search and bought an Epson LQ-510 instead. Not a bad printer. 24-pin dot matrix with max 360x360 dpi and pretty fast as well. You might consider dumping your MPS-1200 and just buying another printer. David Poland 2flntopaz@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu

I am using my MPS1200 with my Amiga. I called Commodore cust. service and
after a few calls they finally understood what I was asking for. They gave
me a part number and I went to my local dealer armed with it. I think it
took around a month for it to arive and it cost between $30 and $40. It works
fine, though I had to guess on the dip switch setting (it only had one bank of
switches and the mps 1250 evidently has two)
