My father has a C64 with associated paraphernalia, including a nice
daisy-wheel printer.  I would like to know if anybody has written
software to talk to C64 peripherals through (perhaps) the parallel
port of an IBM-PC?  From what little I know, it should be possible,
if I make the right cable.  If this is not possible, are interfaces
available to convert, for example, Centronics or serial data to the
C64 serial format to allow this printer to be used with other equipment?

In the best of all possible worlds, this is sitting out in FTP land...

Thanks!
