Thanks John. This makes no sense...but it sounds like my problem. If the mm/1
can send data to the printer buffer, then doesn't 'line problem' end there? I
would think that the output of the print buffer would be independent of the
input from the computer. Apparently not (I assume that you tried the short
cable with the mm/1 + buffer in your setup). I suppose the other thing to do
would be to use a serial port on the printer for one of the computers...but
that is slow (I think the max speed on the printer is 9600). I'm going to hope
that someone else here has a good answer! Oh, I just got another idea...if I
could get the NFM stuff to work between my 2 computers, I could print from the
mm/1 to the VME and then to the printer....but I can't get NFM to work either
(a driver problem on the VME end). Gosh, maybe I should just dust off my old
Coco I and Serial- Parallel convertor and my original tape copy of TW64....
