I don't think it was the Interface S I had, but it was a Kempston, and the incompatibility with 128K mode probably explains why I connected my printer to the RS232 port even though I'd already shelled out for a parallel interface. In recent years, I've often wondered what the hell I was thinking, but that'll be it. -- Duncan Snowden.
