  All you need is a standard IBM PC parallel printer cable. The only change
to the printer will be to change the DIP switches so that CR=CR, not CR=NL.
You'll have to reset this back when you use it with the Model 4.

  I used a DMP-400 with a Tandy 1000 for a while, until the printhead got
clogged up, and like a stupid idiot, I tried to take it apart!! Don't EVER
take apart a printhead!!!!! I bought a DMP-430 as a replacement.
