For those of us who did not purchase a 850 interface,
and now desire to expand to a printer and a modem
with our 800, what choices are there?

I believe that you can print thru the joysticks with
certain interfaces, but I've not heard good things
about them.

Any information would be gratly appreciated

  used with his 800.  It works fine with mine.
