- My friendly computer salesman has a Packard-Bell 486 (god knows
- why) and has inherited a Tandy LP1000 laser printer.
-
- The Packard-Bell has a local bus for the printer port.
- Connecting the Tandy to this resulted in smoke! The boys at
- Radio Shark sold him a cable that didn't make things work,
- either.
-
- Is there a secret? Does anyone know where or why this
- incompatibility exists?
-
- The Packard-Bell does have some slots. Would he have any luck
- getting a card (which card) for the printer port?
-
- Thanks.
