Thanks to all those who made suggestions relating to my printer problems
(my printer -- panasonic 1091i -- would drop the last bit on all output from
1040ST, but an IBM printer would work fine with my ST). I took it into
the dealer where I bought the ST, and he ran some diagnostics and found that
the Yamaha sound chip and the DMA chip were both failing diagnostic tests.
He replace both for $51.00 (time ~2 weeks), which of course save me about
$70 dollars over replacing the entire motherboard.
