 I have an Atari 400 with 48K, a Trak AT-D2 disk drive with printer port
 and 4K buffer connected to an Epson MX-80 printer. The problem is when
 printing large files, large portions of the files are lost. It seems as 
 if the 4K buffer in the Trak gets filled the Atari does not stop sending
 data to the Trak. Small files, < 4K, print with no problem. I believe I have
 all the DIP switches in the Epson and on the back of the Trak set properly.
 Has anyone had a problem like this? I am hoping it is a setup problem not
 a problem with the printer interface in the Trak.
