I have an Intronics Kameleon. It is made for the IIc
printer port to a parallel printer and I will let it
go for $20 shipped, but, as is always the case with
this stuff, it's sold as-is, and no guarantees. The
best test I could do is does it talk to a printer,
because, I have no parallel printer that has ink,
nor do I have one that is guaranteed to work with
the IIc at all.
