I just got an Amiga 500 to replace my tired C64.  I have been
using an Okimate20 on the 64 and I would like to use it on the
500.  Unfortunately, the local dealers (in Minneapolis/St.Paul)
say that it is no longer possible to get Plug-n-print modules for
Amiga.

What I'd like to know, is whether there is a way to adapt the serial
plug from the C64-type cable to fit the Amiga port and whether it
would actually work.  My goal is simply to print text.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
