  At typical baudot data rates you can probably write the program in
BASIC and still have it work. Just init the ports, loop reading the
input until data available, read the port and store to the output.
Assuming that the printer is faster than the data coming in you don't
even need to check for ready on the output port, and certainly don't
need int4rrupts or something like that.

  This can be done with about ten lines of slop programming, assuming
that you have the baudot to ASCII conversion table handy (I don't).
