Radio Shack TRS-80 DMP 100 Printer info needed.

Most of the tandy printers where serial. Does the DMP have a DIN cable, a
D cable or a Centronics cable. Most had a serial DIN cable and you would
have to make a custom cable that went from a PC"s serial port to the DIN on
the printer. If it's a D connector you should be able to use a straight
through serial cable. Getting it to talk, will be the next interesting
part. Im not sure how they communicated, but you might be able to get at
least text out of it. Let me know how it comes out.
