The Okidata 192 and 192+ were made with 2 different PROM sets. One for
Microline emulation and one for IBM/Epson emulation. You can convert by
replacing Q8 with part # 31035701 , Q9 is not required. This applies only
to units with serial number above 18601. Older units would require both
Q8 and Q9. I believe the PROM's costs $35.
