I'd be VERY interested in knowing WHAT differences there are. The 26-1401
fits a "standard" 34 pin card edge, just like the floppy drive (RS had
lots of problems with people connecting things to the wrong port!)
There could be pinout differences that need to be buzzed out.
Somebody said that there were different cables for Non-Tandy
printers. I'd be very interested in more detail on that, since the only
difference that I remember was that RS configured all of their printers
for auto LF after CR, but that they were otherwise completely
interchangeable, and "standard Centronics port".

It's too bad that there wasn't a VCF this year. That's where I usually
parted with TRS-80s.
