I was tasked with doing something with one of those for the University
of Minnesota Computer Center (and of course had forgotten all about it
until you mentioned it. I don't even remember what we used it for,
though I have a vague recollection of doing super- and sub-scripting for
formatted documents on it (or was that a Diablo? It's been quite a
while.). I think I tried drawing stuff with it, maybe as a hardcopy for
contemporary terak graphics, or something. It might have improved the
performance of the LA36, perhaps by adding 1200bps and lots of
buffering. These neurons are old and tired. The odds that I have
anything in my archive that used this printer are infinitesimal (but
nonzero).
