   I have some parts on order to check out a suspicion. The ASCI port does   
   not seem to work, the floppy port produces only an occasional note that   
   the disk is defective, and both those things use the same DMA chip, and   
   the port uses three DIP chips. If, and only if, NVDI burps because it   
   cannot verify that a laser printer exists, this might (or might not) solve   
   my problem.   
      
   I have swapped laser printers, since I have two in working condition, and   
   that changed nothing.   
      
   I will of course try what you suggested, and report on the results of   
   that.
