Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I think I still have some of those sitting around. I never got around to writing the MMBASIC code for it though. But I am pretty sure I have the PCB's. Will look and let you know.
EDIT: I never finished this one at a code level, cos I moved on to thermal printers with a serial interface.
EDIT: Upon re-reading that thread again, I see that I did write enough code to get the dot-matrix stuff up and running, but not the laser-printer options. I also built a prototype, so I will see if I can find that, and if I can, you are welcome to have that fully assembled one to tinker with - I will PM you about that. You would be able to XMODEM S the code from the assembled board to your PC to use as a starting point etc....Edited by Grogster 2017-09-03Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!
