I would need a printer driver software which can drive an MS DOS printer
port at full speed. The current implementation only allows about 1-2 K Bytes
per second, since it passes the interrupts. A better (at least faster) solution
would be a software which drives the port directly, bypassing the interrupt.
When printing on a SUN 3/80 for instance, one can easily obtain 20 K Bytes/s,
but unfortunately (ugh!!!) I have to run this on MS DOS as well.
