I too had an MPS-1200 and wanted to use it with my Amiga.  I also heard
about the fabled cartridge that will allow you to use with the Amiga.  So
I went down to my local dealer and ordered one.  Well, I waited nearly
4 months and they still hadn't got it in yet.  This has been nearly a
year ago.  Shortly afterwords I gave up the search and bought an
Epson LQ-510 instead.  Not a bad printer.  24-pin dot matrix with max
360x360 dpi and pretty fast as well.  You might consider dumping your
MPS-1200 and just buying another printer.
