- Panasonic?
- You will need to get a special cable for it.
- For all non-Commodore printers, if you want to connect it to your
- Commodore for use, you'll need a RS232 cable, I believe.
-
- I own a KXP1080i printer, and I connect it to my Commodore 128 using
- a cable interface call Super Graphix Jr.
-
- My sister bought this cable about 10 years ago. And it was darn expensive.
- She got it for about $60 with tax included.
-
- The Super Graphix Jr. cable works great! Make sure you also get the
- manuals with it if you plan on buying it from someone else. You need to
- know the exact dip switch settings for your printer.
-
- good luck,
