I have been trying to set up my printer files and still haven't been able to get all my options working. For instance, shouldn't the printer be able to switch from 10 pitch to 12 pich as the name implies? Also, Is it normal to have to shut the disk drive off to access the printer and vise versa? Another thing that always confuses me is the differance between ASCII and Commodore characters. I thought all text was ASCII and the graphics were Commodore so I had set my dip switch to ASCII. I later had to switch to Commodore mode to get it to work. HELP! Does anybody have this combination of equiptment or something similar? I have had the computer awhile but don't get to use it much so I'm still learning but don't really get the grasp of all the terminology. I bought Commodore's Intro To Basic I and completed it but have been unable to find Basic II. Did they ever come out with it? On the lighter side, Does anyone play Asylum anymore? I have been stuck at the mirror and can't figure out what to do with it and sure could use some spoilers. I know it's an old game because I had to order it and the clerk said it was a very old game. Oh well, Thanks for your time and any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
