I recently bought a printer interface cartridge for my Commodore 64, a Grappler CD by Orange Micro. I needed it for the interface as one of my printers is not the usual serial DIN connector, and I liked this because the cover is translucent (I like my see thru tech).
It plugs into the cartridge port with a serial connection, and pass through for both, and one thing I did note is that there is a bank of DIP switches that you can access to configure the device.
And while it came in the box (always a plus), there was no manual for it. And doing a bit of Google-fu I am able to find a manual for the Grappler + for the Apple II, but nothing for the C64 version.
It also mentions some software features on the box, and as I can see what I think is a ROM chip on the device and because it uses the cartridge port, I think it is all on board, so no disk for it, but I cannot confirm that yet.
Some pictures of the device and box in case that helps someone to track down the manual.
