RE#6870 Thank you David, I do have the manual to this Oki printer, yesterday I procured the serial interface board, and installed it. I tried working it in serial mode through my UR-2 chip. It gave me no response at all. While I had it in Parallel mode last week, I tried all the indicated settings on the dip's that where published in the manual. The strange part to me is that: it runs a perfect test pattern (self test), in both modes. I am waiting for a reply from Okidata,I wrote to them with coppies of samples I received from my printer. I suspect that the former owner had the printer on, and a bolt of lightning struck the power line, ZAP IC's. To me it was nice to hear that there was somone out there who had it working for them, because I already thought maybe M100 and Okidata are not compat. Thank you for your encouraging message.
