013- I have recently acquired an Apple IIGS and I want to
use my Panasonic PanaPrinter parallel dot matrix printer
with it. What is the best parallel card to use with my
IIGS?
The best parallel card is no parallel card. The IIGS is has serial ports
and the best way to use parallel printers is with a serial to parallel
converter.
Global Computer Supplies, http://www.globalcomputer.com/ , has a bi-
directional model (TAC6180) that is excellent. It supports serial rates of 300-
57600 bps, so using a fast serial driver on the GS can get you printing at 57600
bps. I doubt most printers go faster than this.

The later-model PanaPrinters included both serial and parallel ports. They
shipped with an external parallel interface, but the interface is part of a
parallel-to-serial daughterboard that plugs into an internal serial interface.
It is not necessary to add a parallel card. Open the case, remove the
daughterboard and plug the serial printer cable into the Dsub-25 serial
connector on the main board.

014- How can I use my Epson Color Stylus 800 with my IIgs?
I have an Epson 800 and it works with PrintShopGS and Proterm 3.1 with a
Grappler+ card.

You can also use the Epson 800 on the GS serial printer port. You need an
ImageWriter II serial cable and the Epson LQ4000 driver from the Harmonie
package of printer drivers sold by Shareware Solutions II.
