S THAT OTHER READERS HAD IN.PAST ISSUES
OF LOADSTAR... FRANK S. CASSANO OF CH
APEL HILL,.N.C. HAD A PROBLEM USING PRIN
T SHOP.WITH THE MPS 803 PRINTER. I'VE FO
UND.THAT IF YOU FLIP THE DISK OVER (LABE
L.FACING DOWN) AND LOAD THAT SIDE,.THERE
IS NO SETUP OPTION. THAT'S.BECAUSE THIS
SIDE IS SPECIFICALLY.MADE FOR THE COMMO
DORE 1525/801/803.AND COMPATIBLE FAMILY.
ONLY USE THE.FRONT SIDE IF YOUR PRINTER
OR.INTERFACE DOES NOT EMULATE THE 1525.
PRINTER..... LARRY A. SEXTON OF HARRI
MAN.TN, 37748, WAS ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM
.WITH HIS PRINTER. AS FAR AS I KNOW,.THE
RE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THE 1526.AND MPS
802 PRINTERS CAN WORK WITH.PRINT SHOP.
ADDING AN INTERFACE WON'T.HELP BECAUSE T
HE PRINTERS DON'T NEED.ONE! THE FAULT LI
ES IN THE WAY.COMMODORE DESIGNED THE 152
6/802 --.IT'S INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE 1525
/ 801./ 803 FAMILY. HOPFULLY, BRODERBUN
