This is a dot matrix printer from commodore and it uses a non-standard serial type interface. It connects to a 6522 and has these signals: pin 1 serial srq in pin 2 ground pin 3 serial atn in (host signals) pin 4 serial clk out/ pin 5 serial data out/ pin 6 reset/ Since I already have this printer and $500 is a bit steep for an imagewriter, I will be eternally grateful if anyone can help. I assume that I may need a software driver once I get this figured out. To my knowledge the only commercial interface is FROM the CBM host TO an imagewriter.
