Re:  CardCo /+G printer interface with Epson MX80 printer

I have this combination too.  The problem is that you MUST have Graftrax+
for the CardCo to work.  The people at CardCo will not tell you this.
They will vow and declare that you only need the old Graftrax.  They either
don't know what they are talking about or they are lying.  I had the same
trouble with Music Construction Set.  Then I went out and got the Graftrax+
ROMS, and the printer works -- sort of.  Be warned, whenever it prints a
graphics character of any kind, the head of the printer shuttles back and
forth.  It takes >minutes< to print a single line.  This is just the way
the CardCo interface works.
