I have a tiny problem which I have ignored for a while now, but in talking to a
friend (Bob van der Poel) on the phone I discovered that it may have been a
topic of conversation while I was off CIS for about a year. The problem is that
I now have a Disto SC II (my older SC I is still in use on another CoCo 3 here)
and run my printer off the parallel port of the newer 3 in 1 board.

This port is addressed differently than the earlier one (on the 2 in 1 board,
remember them?) so uses a different driver. The problem is that the printer
occasionally gets line feeds (or CR's; who knows) when I am doing some
nonprinter related OS9 operation. Mostly I just leave the thing off line, but I
occasionally forget and lose my top-of-form.

So, I am told that something along these lines was discussed here some time ago
and a fix was found. Something to do with the version of GIME, Bob thinks. Can
anyone remember? Is there a fix? If so, what's it called and is it posted?
Thanks in advance.
