- **** HELP! ****
-
-
-
-
- I am having a problem with my MPS-801
-
- printer. It won't print. Everything
-
- works fine except the ribbon is not
-
- turning, so consequently it does not
-
- print. I wrote Commodore about it and
-
- have not received a reply yet. Maybe
-
- someone knows something I don't.

-
-
- I am writing to ask if anyone knows
-
- of a printer interface that will work
-
- with the STAR printer and the VIC and
-
- C-64. The interface I have now, it
-
- came with the printer, is a Cardco
-
- Card?A. It works well for the usual
-
- things like printing out program
-
- listings but I can't use some of the
-
- special functions of the word
-
- processors I have. Even though the
-
- printer is a bi-directional printer I
-
- can't make it underline or overstrike.
-
- If some one knows of a printer
-
- interface that will work with this
-
- printer, I would appreciate hearing
-
- from you.

- HELP WITH TWO DRIVES
-
-
- I have two 1541 disk drives and
-
- a 1525 printer. I have had several
-
- problems with using both disk drives.
-
- The second drive is hard-wired as #9.
-
- The first problem I had was that
-
- both drives would lock-up. On a tip
-
- from an owner of another brand of
-
- computer, I reversed the order of the
-
- drives. It still happens once in
-
- a while, but not near as often.
-
- The next problem I had was that
-
- certain software would not work right
-
- with both drives on. This happened
-
- mainly with commercial programs.
-
- Turning off the second disk drive
-
- seemed to cure this.
-
- The last problem I had was with
-
- the COPY ALL program. I could only
-
- copy 1 to 3 programs to drive #9
-
- before drive #8 would die. I would
-
- then have to re-run COPY ALL. This one
-
- puzzled me for quite some time.
-
- Finally I realized that I had my
-
- printer turned on. I turned it off and
-
- had no more problems.
