[Coco] [Color Computer] Coco serial cable

[t.fadden at cox.net]

I have used a Star Micronics XB2410 color printer, an Apple LWSelect 310 
lazer, another generic lazer printer, and  Microline 92.  Mostly from 
OS9. With both a parallel port, and a serial to parallel adapter, and 
the generic lazer had a serial port.  I used to use a combination of the 
color printer for color pages, and the lazer for the B/W to publish a 
newsletter for a Color Computer club that used to be in Phoenix, AZ.
