- Well I use the CARD?+G from Supra Corporation, and it works beautifully, has a
- whole bunch of features and works with a multitude of printers. I've used it
- on my 64 with an Epson compatible (Mannesman Tally MT-160) and currently with
- an OKIDATA 182 ML Turbo. I bought the interface from Computer Direct in
- Illinois a few years ago for $29.99 US. I do not know what the current price
- is but I imagine it couldn't have gone up all that much.
