I am trying to connect a serial printer (DataRoyal)
to one of the serial ports on a Quadram Quadboard on a PC.
The printer uses a busy/ready protocol while it seems
that the PC uses xon/xoff (although I haven't been able
to confirm this in any manual). The result is that a variable
number of characters at the beginning of each print line
are lost.
Can somebody suggest how to fix this? Thanks.
