Just so that no one else has to tear out their hair over the subject
combination, be advised that the Kodak Diconix 150+ Printer won't work with the
Tandy 1400LT IN THE HIGH SPEED CLOCK MODE. It works just fine when the clock
is set to 4.77 MHz, but skips a number of characters and prints trash when
running at high speed.
I was ready to blame the cable until I thought of the possibility of
clock speed problems. I had tried the Diconix on my Tandy 2000 and on a
Toshiba 1000 and it worked just fine. I had tried my EPSON LQ-500 with the
1400LT and it worked just fine. But the combination of Diconix and 1400
wouldn't work at all - until I slowed the clock.
This is emulation independent - both the Epson and IBM emulations on the
Diconix work fine. (For those not familiar, the Diconix is a battery-powered
inkjet printer - very quiet, very fast, and very very portable).
I got the Diconix from 47th St. Photo at a great price of $299. No, I'm
not affiliated with them in any way. The whole reason I bought the printer is
to do quiet, graphics-based printing on the 1400 at racing venues worldwide.

I don't have it here in front of me, but 47th St. Computers advertises
in most of the bigger computer magazines. Or call 800 information to get the
number.
