This is a novel way to transfer data between computers using the printer. From: K6N (Brian Raw) When I recently tested V.1 on a PC, for technical reasons, it would not work. Just a small change is required to the adapter. The software however has been radically altered. Binary...saves all the data as sent. Ascii....removes all line feeds and can also filter out standard printer commands.    From: 2J3 (C.J.Richardson.)
