Digital, eh? We just made some copies of Commodore software cassette tapes using an audio tape-tape copy. Since the computer itself is packed up for Christmas, we haven't tested the tapes. Are they going to work, or should we redo them digitally? (No, it wasn't copyrighted software.) While I have the attention of this newsgroup (and the ARPANET INFO-MICRO mailing list, apparently) I'd like to thank all the people who have replied to my previous queries. I got lots of info on printers, from many people with many different printers. The one printer mentioned more than once was the Star Micronics Gemini 10X, highly recommended 3 times. Cost is $295 or so plus $100 or so for an interface to a Centronics port. I have heard the claim that by reading Popular Computing I can find it for $229, with a $50 interface. Haven't checked that out yet. Let me shoot out a few more random questions. The Commodore monitor costs $25 and seems to have pretty good quality. But for $174 or so I can go to Sun TV and get a 13 inch color TV set that can also get TV. Since the Commodore monitor still leaves me with 40 columns, is there any reason to get the Commodore monitor? Substantially better picture? Some hope of an 80 column card someday? Also, any advice on speech synthesizers and/or recognizers? Finally, where do we get the programmers reference manual? Computer store? Mail order? Toy store? Thanks in advance.
