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.
