I used it with a Commodore 64 (this should help date it) soon after the Commodore came out. The nine pin dot-matrix printers available then gave poor print quality. The Daisy wheel printers gave typewriter quality, albeit slowly, and had all the features such as subscript, superscript, bolt, underline, etc. The Commodore printers of that era did not have descenders for the lower case g, j, p, and y letters, for instance. I believe the price was $240.00 Cheers, Lee
