I havn't seen the inside of mine. However, with a flip of one of the
dip swicthes on the back you can turn it from a CBM printer using the
CBM IEC or into a IBM PC Printer (centronics). The printer contains
the PETSCII and PC ASCII character sets which is set by the same
mentioned switch.
I'll have to dig the manual out but you can't use it on both modes at
once or something bad will happen (if I recall what the manual said
inside).
Other then that it's a fairly good printer and easily still can get
ribbons for.
