Knowing that explanations probably abound for this particular problem, but
here it goes anyway.  I bought a generic 386/33 clone this weekend and am
experiencing some difficulty with the printer port.  When I try to print a
file with the computer at full speed, the parallel port fails to communicate
properly with my printer (an old Star Micronics SG-10).  When switching down
to non-turbo speed, however, the printer works fine.  Any suggestions?  I
realize that the i/o card may be problematical (generic no name clone) but I
want to solicit comments since I find this problem curious.  Maybe I ought to
thinker with the bus speed while I'm at it.  If anyone has any idea(s) on this,
I'd appreciate your comment.  Thanks in advance.

Winston
