On the Radios Shack 1400, the standard IBM printer cable will not work on the early RS printers. These printers are: DMP 106, 107, 130, 132, 133. To use the 1400 on these printers you leave the Dip Switches on _Tandy Mode_ (not IBM mode) The correct cable is RS# 26-0227 (6') and RS# 26-0223 (12'). DMP 134 and up require RS# 26-0228 (6') and 26-1258 (12'); I assume the last two mentioned are standard cables that sell at RS for $34.95+ and I purchased one at a computer retail store for $8.95. (Thanks Tony!). Hope this save someone a little frustration on "moving-up". Gene Nestro
