Re: Boot Issue with Raspberry Pi 3B+
So here are the pictures of how I attached a small diode and a piece of wire between GPIO pin 1 on the bottom of the Raspberry Pi 3B+ and GPIO pin 1 on the top of the RetroPrinter. Note that I have cut into the connector on the bottom of the RetroPrinter, to break the pin 1 connection. Everything ...

Re: Boot Issue with Raspberry Pi 3B+

Another happy RetroPrinter customer
Hi everyone
I'm very happy with my RetroPrinter. I can now use it to print BASIC listing from my BBC Micro (Model B). I'm using RetroPrinter with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and printing to a Canon MG7550 network printer.
Well done to everyone who's made this possible.
