National Semiconductors Printer Controller

		     Use of the ASC-88 Host Adaptor

This directory contains the source and executable code required to use an 
ASC-88 host adaptor card, installed in a PC, to drive a SCSI Printer Controller
(SPC). This code is outlined in the document "SCSI Printer Controller Users
Guide".

There are two executable files in this directory, PRINTOUT.EXE and STOPRINT.EXE
printout will pass the data in a defined file to the SPC to be printed. It is 
used in the form:
			printout filename

stoprint will flush the SPC buffer and re-initialize the printer. It is used in
the form:
			stoprint

For optimum performance the user should ensure that disconnection is enabled
for the ASC-88 board. This is done by running the ASC-88 program ASC_MODE
and typing 'Y' next to 'DISCONNECTION'.
