24.0. "LA100 interface" by ANGORA::SMCAFEE (Steve McAfee) Wed May 14 1986 19:20

    
      Someone recently gave the following connection info for an
    LA50 to the Amiga:
    
        Amiga                     LA50
        -----                     ----

      What I'd like to know is if this will also work on an LA100.
    I have one that I could use at home if I can put together a cable
    to make it work.
    
    Thanks,

    I don't see any reason why not, as long as both printers are set
    up for the same characteristics (baud, parity, etc.)  I have
    interchanged them several times with my DEC hardware without any
    problems.

    fyi
    
       I tried the cable mentioned in 24.0 on an LA100 with my Amiga
       and it worked fine.
