Greetings,

  Years ago I purchased an OLYMPIA Compact 2 typewriter.
It is interfaced with my C64, using a CARDCO Universal
Centronics Parallel Printer Interface.

  So question: This typewriter/printer has an alternate
character set on the top row (the numerals, etc.),
accessed by a KBII key (as opposed to a SHIFT key). Can
this be commanded through the interface?

  Anyone familiar with this? I've misplaced the
documentation.

Thanks.
