* Bit7 may tend to be HIGH by default, so printing normal text won't work with normal software that doesn't support the mod (the schematic includes a switch to disable the mod manually).
'''Note:''' Some years later the same magazine (renamed The circuit can be connected internally to [[PC Amstrad International]]the mainboard, issue 8or externally to the joystick/9'91, page 69) released another 8bit printer mod: This newer (and better) solution uses PPI.Pin12 (same as the [[Happy Computer 8bit Printer Mod]])port connectors.
