**** HELP! ****
I am having a problem with my MPS-801
printer. It won't print. Everything
works fine except the ribbon is not
turning, so consequently it does not
print. I wrote Commodore about it and
have not received a reply yet. Maybe
someone knows something I don't.

I am writing to ask if anyone knows
of a printer interface that will work
with the STAR printer and the VIC and
C-64. The interface I have now, it
came with the printer, is a Cardco
Card?A. It works well for the usual
things like printing out program
listings but I can't use some of the
special functions of the word
processors I have. Even though the
printer is a bi-directional printer I
can't make it underline or overstrike.
If some one knows of a printer
interface that will work with this
printer, I would appreciate hearing
from you.

HELP WITH TWO DRIVES
I have two 1541 disk drives and
a 1525 printer. I have had several
problems with using both disk drives.
The second drive is hard-wired as #9.
The first problem I had was that
both drives would lock-up. On a tip
from an owner of another brand of
computer, I reversed the order of the
drives. It still happens once in
a while, but not near as often.
The next problem I had was that
certain software would not work right
with both drives on. This happened
mainly with commercial programs.
Turning off the second disk drive
seemed to cure this.
The last problem I had was with
the COPY ALL program. I could only
copy 1 to 3 programs to drive #9
before drive #8 would die. I would
then have to re-run COPY ALL. This one
puzzled me for quite some time.
Finally I realized that I had my
printer turned on. I turned it off and
had no more problems.
