Printing

Printing from Word 6.01a and Wordperfect 3.5.3 on an Epson Stylus Color 500 worked fine on both computers. However, on the PowerBase 180 I had to set AppleTalk to the modem port as Mac OS 8's Chooser said AppleTalk was active even though it wasn't. Thankfully, there was no resulting interference with modem operations. This just continues the serial port communication problems experienced by many Macs/clones with the Alchemy motherboard (6360's, 6400's, PowerBases and possibly C500's from UMAX).
