- Hi...
-
- I have an old Daisy-Wheel printer sitting around, and would like to put it to
- good use (if possible) with my Mac II.
-
- I have heard that Orange Micro makes a card to connect a daisy-wheel to a Mac,
- but they say they don't.
-
- (It would seem like a hard thing to do, as, if I understand this correctly,
- the Mac normally sends "pictures" to the Imagewriter/Laser writer, and not
- "text" per se, so a daisy-wheel maynot understand what to do. Or maybe not,
- I dunno...just a guess...)
-
- Anyhow, if anyone knows how to do this, or if any firm makes such a
- card/device, please send me some e-mail, or post to the group if you
- think it is interest.
-
- Thanks in advance!
-
