212.0. "LA50 --> ST" by PEARS::BOEHM () Wed Aug 31 1988 20:19

    Did anyone connect a LA50 to an Atari-ST?  To the serial port of
    course. 
    
    If yes, what is to observe. Presumably graphics output is not possible.
    A friend of mine is looking an info to this.
    
    Thanks in advance and regards. / Hilmar.

    Yes it's been done (by Jeff Lomicka and I think others). In fact
    Jeff has written a DA that allows printing graphics ("screen dump").

212.3I've tried it too!PEOVAX::LEWISRONCO makes the best board popper...Mon Sep 05 1988 14:089
    Before purchasing my SEIKOSHA color printer, I was using an LA50
    with 1ST Word software.  I modified the dot matrix printer driver
    and inserted the control codes for the LA50 printer.
    
    If you would like this driver, send me mail or DTN 449-3516.
