[Coco] [coco] Amazing!

[George Ramsower]

A couple of days ago, I developed a need for a printer on my CNC coco. So I 
went out to my shop and found my old Oki ML 172 that I've had laying around 
for years, dusted it off, plugged it into power and turned it on into the 
self-printing mode and the darn thing still prints. Although the ink is 
pretty dried out, it's still legible.
 This morning I had to make a new boot disk for that coco because I didn't 
have the driver in the original boot.
 Xmode the /p and it was set to 9600. So I did a DIR >/p through the old 
serial to parallel port adapter and it worked.

 It took me two days to find the converter.

 I was sure something was not going work, but amazingly enough, no problems. 
Now I'll re-ink that old ribbon and get back to work.
