Subject: Re: Kaypro-10/Diablo 630 interface troubles
We have a Kaypro II and a Diablo 620; the combination works fine with WordStar,
Perfect Writer, etc., but we experience a somewhat similar problem in printing
Perfect Filer. Again, the problem seems to be with the handshaking; we overrun
the buffer in the printer, causing strange & variable misprints - usually only
a few characters here and there. Our dealer has spoken to Kaypro & concluded
that the problem
is in the cable - two connections need to be interchanged to correct the
glitch.
It does seem to work if the baud rate is reduced from 1200 to about 120.
I don't
know if our problem is related to yours.
We have yet to really put Perfect Filer to the test, so I am not sure what
will happen if we try to print a large formatted output.
