The 'gadget' is called a "PrintPack". It lets you print to a variety of
parallel printer. It comes as a software and as a hardware. The software
is a collection of "drivers" that will let you talk to the most popular
PeeCee printers. The hardware part is a serial-to-parallel converter.
MessagePads have only a serial port. This thing will convert the serial
information into parallel so that you can physically connect to the
printer and use it.
