Ron: Yes, invest in the Epson FX emmulation card. Model T ROMware's printer drivers were written for Epson printers. Both the SuperROM and Ultimate ROM II use a printer defination file, containing the printer control codes for bold, italic, underland, double wide, etc., using the Epson control code strings. Save yourself a ton of work. Buy the Epson FX emmulation card. Once you get your emmulation card installed and running, you might want to play around with some of the screen-dump program in the library. It's kind of nice to be able to dump graphic screens to your printer, then add on text. With a little work you can do desk top publishing to a certain degree, i.e., newsletters, flyers, announcements, magazine-like articles, and technical documents, complete with drawings. It's a kick! -Rick-
