Mike, I'm using a Comm-4 to send serial data to my printer, but I'm not using a
Tandy-style serial interface (4-pin DIN).  The serial device that I'm sending
the data to uses a standard RS-232 interface.

In your situation, I think I'd tie the BUSY line from the printer to the DTR
line in the COMM-4 interface.

Tying it to DSR might also be an option, but I'd try DTR first.

Lee

P.S. If you use Multi-Vue (or the Hi-Res Joystick adaptor), then you might
experience some lost data when data is being sent to the printer (via the
Comm-4 port) and the mouse pointer is being moved about.
