	Noyes - There's an accessory which emulates an EPSON FX-80 fairly good
that will work with less than 1 MByte of RAM.

	It will allocate a certain amount of memory the first time it is called
(you can let it do this during installation of it as accessory with a special
file) and then work as an EPSON FX-80 printer - It works pretty well.

	How much memory does it need? Well, Currently I'm running it with
about 700k which is - admittedly - much provided that you have only 1 Meg of
memory available. The manual of this software - it's called LASERBRAIN - states
that for pure text printing 40 K should do - if you want to use the supplied
fonts for printing you need more memory. I ended up using 700k.

	I got LASERBRAIN for free from Atari, West Germany (I send them a 3.5"
disk and got another one back with the emulator, fonts, and manual on it - 
also included were a configuration file for 1st Word Plus and Adimens).
