both of which were great printers too. Don't forget such as the laser
engine coupled units either. Huge messes, but could turn out amazing
volumes of printed material.
Those printers had an amazingly long life! They
were first introduced
in 1959
with the 1401 computer, and, like I said, the brand spanking new
System 3
they got in ca. 1976 came with one! I wonder when IBM stopped producing
them?
Did they discontinue the most long lasting printer that they had made
