	Greetings.  I have a Mac II (for about a year and a half now).  While
I purchased an ImageWriter II with the computer, I also have a NEC PR-201
serial line printer (centronics interface) that went with my Japanese computer,
the NEC PC-100.  The NEC PR-201 is a 24 pin printer (one of the most popular
models in Japan -- although there are many models of it now).  I was wondering
with the advent of conversion boxes by companies such as Orange Micro if there
was a way to hook up my PR-201 to my Mac.  It would be nice to use the 24 pin
printer if it were possible.  Does anyone know the list of supported printers
for the Grappler LQ?  As I have a printer manual listing the escape sequences
supported by the printer, if there were a table or somesuch that was necessary
to program, I imagine I could look up some of the printer codes also.
	Thanks for any info.
