This does not pertain to the Daisy Wheel, but I thought it might be
of interest to others who have read the previous articles.

For those of you who have Tandy DMP-132 dot matrix printers that have
a "so-called" standard Centronics interface, you make want to make
sure that you disconnect pin 18 of the 36 pin connector.  This pin
is a +5V line FROM the printer and depending on your computer, you
could drag the voltage down and the printer won't work or you could
short it out completely and your printer won't work again until you
fix it.
