Qwint Systems?

Can anybody tell me anything about these? Found a little something I thought was word processor, but it actually looks like some sort of serial terminal using 80 column paper for output vs. a CRT. Very compact, kind of a neat looking little package. Googling has come up dry..... What you probably have is a Qwint 740 or 780 (I'd have to see it to know what model). It was the smallest plain paper teletype replacement probably ever built. I worked there at Qwint (formerly Martin Research of 1970's MIKE 8008/8080 fame) between '84-85; I wrote the service manual (which I think I still have). It's a very sophisticated machine-don't let the size or apparent simplicity fool you; it uses a Z-80 with bank switching! It is possible to reink the ink cartridge via the old WD-40 trick; don't lose it because they are made of unobtanium. The company was bought by Zebra (who makes the thermal bar code printers), mostly for IP (intellectual property). ===== -Steve Loboyko Incredible wisdom actually found in a commerical fortune cookie: "When small men cast long shadows, then it is very late in the day."
