- Hmm, this is odd, I used a standard IBM printer cable on my XEP80 and
- it worked fine. I really can't think of a reason why yours isn't working.
-
- If everything is electrically working correctly, then anything,
- including the following from Atari DOS 2.5 (or 2.0s) should work.
-
- Type A[RETURN] for directory.
-
- then type in:
-
- D1:*.*,P:
-
- and the directory should come out on the printer. If not, something
- is wrong. Does the 80 column screen come up? Are you using the STOCK
- AUTORUN.SYS handler from the Atari XEP80 disk? I know I'm asking obvious
- questions here... but I can't think of anything else.
