[Coco] Using Rick Adam's DELPHIterm 3.1 to connect a Coco3 to a TRS80 PT210

 Interesting!  AND to find a rs232 at a recycling place!  Wow!  Timing is everything.
How hard is it to find print heads for it?

 It's a TRS80 PT210 dumb terminal  with built in 80 column thermal printer. The printer is used to display whatever the host computer is transmitting to it

I never used it much since the only way to connect to my coco or model 3 was via its built in acoustic coupler and phone line.

I recently got lucky and found the optional RS232 adapter card for it at an electronics recycling company. Now I can connect it to almost any computer just using a standard DB25 to DB25 cable.  The card has a switch that reverse‎s the Host and Received pins #2 and #3; this creates a null modem cable effect

The printer uses standard 8 1/2 inch thermal fax paper that is readily available at any office supply store

Now that I found this card I use the PT210 a lot more. It works very well with the deluxe rs232 pak and Ricks DELPHITERM program

 Yes vid.  I am curious about the prn.  Is it thermal or what?  That's interesting.  I see it's an RS unit.  What model is it?
