I was using a C64/1541 with EasyScript and  a  Blue  Chip  daisy-
wheel   printer.    All   that   worked   out   fine together.  I
decided to upgrade my setup and I bought a C128/1571 and switched
to  Pocket  Writer 2 in the 128 mode. I have found out that I can
not get my Blue Chip  to work now.  What happens is after  I  get
into   Pocket  Writer 2 and do a directory of the disk I then try
to load a file and the system locks up leaving the  light  on the
1571  blinking.  The only way out is to power the thing off.  The
best I have been able to do is shut off  the  disk  drive   after
loading the file and connect the printer cable and turn the drive
back on. Then I requested to print the file. It printed it all in
upper case only.

As you might guess I have questions:  Does  anyone  have  a  Blue
Chip like mine working on a C128?

Does anyone have a Blue Chip like mine working on a C128 w/Pocket
Writer 2?

Does anyone know which printer type should be selected for a Blue
Chip when using the Pocket Writer 2(128 mode)?

Is  there  a  bug  in  Pocket  Writer  2  that  is  causing   the
reformatting not to work. I hit F6 and nothing happens.

I still have my 1526 printer and was able to  get  that  to  work
fine with all this by selecting "1526" printer type.


Thanks in advance.
