You forget LE8, LP14, lp25 series of line printers.
I didn't forget them... I never knew about the LE8 nor the LP14, and I didn't
know that there was ever an interface for the LP25 for any model of 8. It's
all news to me.
PDP-8s were used with large and faster line printers
of the day.
I have only ever seen PDP-8's used with what would be termed "personal"
class
printers.
Also the LA30 DECwriter was a parallel interface at
30cps.
I have heard of the LA30. I didn't know it was parallel. Never seen one.
