Even Radio Shack had one of those! But not for
long. Crumpling the paper
How did the original TRS-80 screen printer work -- the one that plugged into the
expanison bus and read out video RAM?
I think it was electrostatic, using the aluminized paper.
I don't imagine that electrostatic paper is still manufactured, is it? Even in
different roll widths that might be cut down to support some old-timey computer printer?
