You can get the disks from Hirsch & Wolf (++49-2631-839931), the distributor of CBM developer for Europe. The stuff is not distributed by CBM in Europe since 2 years. Hirsch & Wolf does the job VERY well. I (hopefully?) do have all the printer related developer material. That's why I recommended you to get that Fish disk 34x with the RKM Companion. You find the CBM source code on that Fish disk! There is really nothing worth mentioning you get more as developer (a printertest program (mainl text tests) and an VERY old additional driver source can be found on a several year old DEVCON disk set. This is all that is available as far as I can remember). So, with the RKM and the companion disk from the Fish series, you should have all the info you need. All the rest is up to you and your intuition. There are differences between modern drivers and those sources… but they should be of no concern to you now… just start making a driver. Oh yes, also available is the Screen and IFF driver source here on CIS. Might have a look at it too as these two drivers are a bit "different". But handle with care… bugs everywhere 😉 — Wolf Faust, Am Dorfgarten 10, 60435 Frankfurt, Germany —
