Hi Tod.  To your printer question ... the Diconix is just another parallel
printer for the microcomputer market.  There is nothing special about this
printer.  You may instantly use it with any Model 100, 102 or 200.

Now ... if when you do, you get all the printing on one line, this simply means
that the Model T is not issuing the obligatory line feed character along with
each carrier return character.

Solution #1: Open the printer manual and look at the dip switch settings.  Find
the one marked CR/LF (or someting line that) and flip it in the other
direction.  Turn the printer back on and all should be fine.

Solution #2: You will find line-feed generating programs in the library, here
online, or via the T-WORD program on either the Ultimate ROM II or Sardine ROM
chips ... or using the WRITE program on the SuperROM.

Okay ... looking at your membership information on the tracking computer, I
note that you have the Sardine ROM.  Break that ROM out and enter the T-WORD
program.  Review the manual information under the topic of printing.

Also, you should review the CONFIG.DO file contents to custom drive the
printing feature (tricks) of the Diconix printer.

Thanks for asking.  Hope this helps.  Have fun... -Rick-
