printing on the dragon

[wgoodf]

well i found a printer cable for the dragon on ebay and you know what?

it all worked with an old HP i had. no messing, no fussing - it just worked.

i admit i am surprised by that.
a simple LLIST and off it went.
hmm i wonder about the graphic codes...

ahh - this is fun!

main thing tho - the cable and the printer port work. next is the centronics gender changer to see if i can get any serial type goodness going on through that port.
telnet awaits i tells ya!

HA!

ok - actually it just prints again again again on the same line.hmm not quite the success i had thought.

Try POKE &H14A,2 ?

[wgoodf]

that worked a treat - so what went on there with that poke then?

as much as i am revisiting a lot of the old hardware i played with when i was wee, i lack lots of knowledge in this area. so what did it do

[sixxie]

It sets the amount of bytes to print at EOL to 2, which includes a LF character. I looked it up here: http://www.grempc.demon.co.uk/dragon/info/.

i had spotted that site and that page as i used the monitor pinouts info - as far as the rest?

well i am much too dumb to follow all that!
thank heavens for forums,

thanks
again
