Hi there, thanks for reading this.

I'm trying to find out if it is possible to use my retired Apple Stylewriter 
1200 (which has a Canon print mechanism) with an IBM PS2 which I use for packet 
radio. The printer uses a serial connection from the Apple, for which I have 
pin-outs - and I am wondering if anyone has successfully made the change.

I realise that I would need the printer driver for the equivalent Canon 
machine, but assuming I can locate this I imagine that it should 
theoreticaly be possible to use the Apple printer with an IBM machine.

Any (sensible!) suggestions welcomed.

73 de Dave, G4IRQ
