F/BUFFER1

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

    What is a MegaBuffer, well it's simply a printer buffer.  What is a 
    printer buffer I hear you ask! 
     
    No! well I'm going to tell you anyway....... 
     
    A printer is usually the slowest part of any computer system, because 
    its speed is limited by its mechanics.  The computer, however, can 
    produce data to be printed far faster then the printer can take it, so 
    that most of the time, the computer is just waiting for the printer, 
    and not doing anything useful.  A printer buffer overcomes this 
    problem, by taking data from the computer as fast as it can be sent, 
    and storing it in its own memory until the printer can accept it.  The 
    computer is therefore freed for other uses very quickly, leaving the 
    printer buffer to take care of the printing.  It's important to note 
    that a printer buffer will not actually produce a printout more 
    quickly, but it will allow you to use the computer while the printer 
    is running.    
     
     
    This particular little gadget measures only 5" x 5" x 1.5" and is 
    bristling with useful features such as being able to produce several 
    copies of a printout without having to make the computer send the data 
    again. It even has a help mode! 
     
    Some of the operating modes available: 
     
    1) Sink mode 
     
    In this mode, all data sent by the computer is read in and ignored. 
    Useful if you want to stop the printout without escaping from the 
    program. 
     
    2) Straight mode 
     
    In this mode the data is send directly to the printer - the buffer 
    action is disabled.  The main use of this mode is when you are 
    manually feeding single sheets into a printer, where there is no point 
    in buffering, as the software has to wait for you to change sheets. 
     
    3) Buffer mode 
     
    This is the most frequently used mode, it takes the data from the 
    computer at a fast rate and stores it until the printer is ready for 
    it. 
     
    4) Multi copy mode 
     
    Another very useful mode, the buffer takes the data from the computer 
    and passes it to the printer as in the buffer mode but it retains in 
    its memory the full document (memory permitting) so at a press of a 
    button the document can be reprinted.  In some cases the second print 
    occurs a lot faster than the first ie in Stop Press, the computer is 
    actually slower than the printer as there is quite a lot of 
    calculation involved to produce each line - second time around it's in 
    the buffer and it's printed out in a jif. 
     
     
    5) Help mode 
     
    Self explanatory - it prints out basic operating instructions for each 
    mode. 
     
    There are other modes, but are seldom used such as Filter mode, Hex 1 
    mode, Hex 2 mode, Hex 3 mode and Self Test mode. 
     
    All in all its a useful wee gadget and well worth getting a hold of 
    one if you find you are drinking too much coffee hanging around 
    waiting on your printer to catch up with you.
