Selenar Graphics II (Was: DECWriter II LA36 being given away)

If I remember correctly the LA100 was somewhat typewriter like. It may have been called a LetterwriterII and the keyboardless version Letterprinter II Regards ? ? -----Original Message----- From: cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Tony Duell Sent: 16 September 2012 18:29 To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Selenar Graphics II (Was: DECWriter II LA36 being given away) I think i have an LA50 somewhere. I certainly heve a couple of LA100s [1] and an LA324 [2] [1[ I do like the 'nodding printhead' in this unit. The printhead is mouted o na solenoid mechanism that moves the business end by havle a dot pitch vertically. That means you can get the equivelent of an 18 pin prinehed in 2 passes. [2] This is a more recent 24 pin unit with 3 microprocessors inside. I beleive it can taek a colour ribbon, but Iv'e never got one for it. This is also the only thing I own with an MMJ connector (!). be The LA110 is a lot smalelr than the LA36. The LA36 has a lot of electroncis in the stand, so it can't be turned int oa tabletop unit. The LA100 is. -tony
