Though I remember collecting my printouts from the sysop in 1st year 1991 and you could hear the line printers grinding away. Need 230 (ish) volts too. Many (most?) daisy-wheel printers will easily interface to VAXen of most any model. Most have serial interfaces. I've never seen nor heard of one that *requires* 230V, BTW. Basically size doesnt matter, as I will have to pay for a pallet, regardless of whats on it. There were once so many DEC LQP02 daisy-wheel printers floating around that people were dumpstering them by the dozen. I personally gave away about fifteen of them. They were great printers, but laser printers really killed the daisy-wheel market. The LQP02 is a re-badged Juki 6100, which is an excellent design. I have a Tandy-branded daisy-wheel printer that I'd give you, but I'm none too keen on packing and shipping it. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
