[sebhc] available disk images

[Dwight K. Elvey]

Hi Dave
 There was one thing I remember. Many of the Heath printers
had an inverted status signal from what everyone else had.
I recall patching the software to solve this. One has to
remember, I did this years ago so I don't even remember
where or how this was done. I just remember how frustrated
I was that their printer drivers couldn't be generally used
for generic serial printers. I suspect it was some sales
guy that thought it was clever. They did have examples of
their drivers so one could write their own.
Dwight
