Lots of new IBM things today, but all basically PC related.
Does anyone here have a 5182 Color Printer? This was one of the
goodies today, from an ex-IBM salesman that was finally clearing out
the closet. He said it was a very unsuccessful product from the XT/AT
era, and may have never been for sale to the public. He said they were
probably internal use only.
The 5182 is a dot matrix printer with a four color ribbon. Kludge on a stick.
Still, it is built like the mainframe people were in charge of the project.
