My friendly computer salesman has a Packard-Bell 486 (god knows
why) and has inherited a Tandy LP1000 laser printer.
The Packard-Bell has a local bus for the printer port.
Connecting the Tandy to this resulted in smoke! The boys at
Radio Shark sold him a cable that didn't make things work,
either.
Is there a secret? Does anyone know where or why this
incompatibility exists?
The Packard-Bell does have some slots. Would he have any luck
getting a card (which card) for the printer port?
Thanks.
