Hello,

I want to know if the Atari SLM804 requires the little box SLMC804 to
work? Or can it be connected directly to the Atari ST ?

Is it right that the toner is the same as other machines and can be
easely found?

Thanks!
Guillaume.

When I had one (in 1990) it connexcted directly

It was the same as other toners used a quarter century ago - I have no
idea about now !

I don't believe Mudge is correct. I just looked at mine, the 804
connects to the controller (SLMC804) with a SCSI 1 cable. Then the
controller connects to the computer through the ACSI port.

I seem to remember there was something different about the toner itself,
if you were into refilling your own cartridges. I'm thinking the toner
was finer.

Replacement cartridge kits would fit TEC LB-1301, Buffalo, DTP, Kaypro,
Memory, Memorex Microphonix,Oasys, and TEC lasers. Got these name
brands from a replacement toner cart box, but didn't take the time to
write the model numbers. If you want the model numbers, send an email
to this address, and I'll scan the entire label and email it to you.

I rented one to print my daughter's thesis - and I had no controller -
it connected to my ST with a scuzzi cable and made so much air
pollution in my basement office I decided not to buy it and went back
to my old dot matrix printer when I was finished the thesis print job !
