Hello! Makes sense. At the VCF showing where we met, you had a neighbor, who ran a Straight 8 system. Next to it was a printer with attached keyboard (or without it, I can't recall), and a Model 33 teletype with a coil of paper tape attached to it. What would have been its DEC branded printer? ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Which includes financials and real estate and possible insurance. Yes, dot matrix printers are still being manufactured. Their primary use is for multi-part forms. One I've seen recently (last week) is an Okidata Microline 320, with a USB interface, at a truck rental company. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
