        The printer cable I have with my 1000HX has a yellow band on
it with Tandy p/n 26-289. This is the cable for IBM-style printer
interfaces, vice Tandy interfaces which used p/n 22-222, among
others. The following links go to Tandy documents talking about the
choice of printer cables:

        http://support.tandy.com/support_accessories/doc4/4000.htm

        The cables are for the 1000-series, except for the RL, RLX, and TL/3.
