Not likely a tip, just a memory: In the “old days” back when I was using the M100 in my newspaper business, the MacPlus and Mac Se printer cable to the Apple pin printer, which we used to print address labels to mail the paper, was a null modem cable. We simply reversed the cable — unplugged it from the printer and plugged it into the M100, leaving the Mac end plugged in. We used MockTerminal on the Mac and the Comm interface on the M100 to send text files back and forth. It was slick and easy.
