This file includes two tables.

The first is a Windows 3.1 printer driver compatibility list for Tandy
printers. It cross-references the various Tandy printers and printer modes
with the printer driver support available under Windows 3.1. Note that
support under Windows for printers set to Tandy mode is limited to plain
text-only output via the "Generic/Text-Only" driver. As far as I know, no
one has written a driver that supports Tandy mode.

The second table is a printer cable selection matrix. This lists the same
printers as the first table along with a code that cross-references the
printer/computer type with the appropriate cable. If you're running
Windows, you're unlikely to be using an old Tandy machine with a
non-standard printer port, but you may wish to use an older Tandy printer.
This table will point you at the right cable part number.

NOTE: The cable reference is incomplete. The basic data was published in
      May 1991. I would appreciate help to fill in the gaps.

The cable data was abstracted, with some corrections and updates, from a
"Radio Shack Computer Merchandising Memo of the Month" (MOM) dated May
1991. The driver information is based on a MOM published in May(?) 1992.
It has also been updated somewhat.

Please notify me of any corrections or additions.

The following is list of Tandy printers with their appropriate Windows
drivers. In many cases, the Windows driver you will use depends on the
printer mode. For example, if you are using a DMP 440 in Tandy mode, you'd
use the "Generic/Text Only" Windows 3.1 driver; if it's set up for IBM mode,
use the "IBM Graphic Printer" driver.
