Hi,
First off, I'd like to say that I am very happy to have found this
group. It has been interesting to ready past posts on topics that I enjoy. I am
most interested with IBM System/3x's and the Displaywriter System. I direct
the Audio / Visual Department of a High School, and the first thing I did
when I got there 3 years ago was to put my old IBM Displaywriter back to work.
It is used daily, and some people think I am nuts for using it to deal with
crucial data; However I sit back and laugh when there PCs are crashing, hanging,
and causing them all kinds of problems!
Anyway I am in desperate need of 2 things for my Displaywriter. First
I really need ReportPack software. If anyone knows where I could get a copy
that would be great. Secondly, I need the groups advice on my printer. I
currently have the daisywheel printer with no sheet feeders or tractor feed. I
use standard greenbar paper for most things, and it is a real pain to have to
keep hitting the start button after each sheet is done printing, plus I have
to realign the paper correctly. This will especially be a problem if I even
find the ReportPack software. I would like to find the cut-sheet feeder or
the tractor feed attachment. According to the books I have it seems that
these connect to a small connector on the back of the printer. My printer has a
blank plug in that space, yet the books reference the same printer I have.
Was there some kit of parts that one would install in the printer??
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, any assistance would be
great!
