Hope someone can help me with the following:

I was wondering if it is possible to interface an Amy 500 with a C64/128
serial printer? Maybe at least for text and special "ESC" commands, no
bit-mapped graphics?

If so, would it be difficult to brew such an interface in my home at
minimum cost and wth readily available parts (Archer - the choice of the
amateurs) ?

I know there are programs out that let you use both a c64 printer & 1541/71
drives with the amy, but for me they are overkill. All I need is a simple
way to print text once in a while...

Thanks....
