Is there a way to run a serial device (namely a printer) from a parallel card on an Apple //e? I've got an AE Parallel Pro w/256k Buffer Pro and would like to run my brother's Imagewriter II on it over the summer. Is this possible? _________________________________________________________________________ | Move over Rover & |Email Addresses: Kent Squires "goo goo g'joob" | | let Jimi take over!| Internet: kjs39186@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu | | -------------------| ProLine: kents@pro-apa | | I wouldn't do it |_______ America OnLine: kents12 | | for all the farms in Cuba! | FidoNet: 233/15 Kent Squires | |____________________________|____________________________________________|

Sure. Look for a parallel to serial converter. This is not an apple-specific piece of equipment, so you can check your IBM equipment ads (like Computer Shopper). Unfortunately this is not a cheap piece of equipment (even though the concept is excessively simple (for parallel to serial you just load the data in parallel to a shift register and shift the bits out in serial at the proper speed).
