	I just bought a Seikosha 1000AS (Epson-compatible) printer in
preparation for an IBM-compatible printer I am going to buy. But I like
my old VIC-20, and would like to be able to use my new printer with it,
since I don't have a printer for it.  I remember that companies used to
make interfaces that changed CBM ASCII into regular ASCII, and changed
from the VIC's serial port to the standard RS232 port on a PC.  Are 
these things still made?  What's the price for one of these, preferably
used, since I really don't want to spend a lot of money on my VIC.

	If these interfaces are the same as the ones used for C64's
then I would assume that they are relatively common, and I could get
one at any Commodore outlet.  If so, just email me, and don't embarass
me in front of the whole net :-).

Thanks,
