I agree, which is why I started collecting in two areas: serial
terminals and graphics boxes. "Graphics boxes" includes things like
dial boxes, button boxes and graphics tablets and even plotters.
However, I see things like large line printers and other such early
printing peripherals seem to be rare. They only seem to appear in
people's collections if they were part of a big bundle.
Any other peripheral collectors out there?
