Does anyone on the net have experience with printer buffers, typically 64KB,
that are connected between the cpu and the printer, for a Diablo 630 or
similar printer using a serial interface?

Please comment on pricing, reliability, any problems with WordStar or other
WP packages that use control characters to control the printer.  Also please
note if I can buy a "minimum" configuration, say 32K, and upgrade myself
with chips I buy myself.  Please mention any useful or *useless* features.

If you are reading this message in a newsgroup other than net.periph, (the name 
here at Fortune Systems for that group,) please reply in that newsgroup 
if possible.

Thanks,
