Discussion of large systems

Yes, that is infact, the Apple Dot Matrix Printer (aka ADMP) which is identical to the ImageWriter, except that it works over a VIA 6522 parallel port instead of the serial port that the ImageWriter uses. They are all versions of the C. Itoh 8510. I'm not familiar with the DEC LA50, but it's very likely that, it too, is a C. Itoh. The Inkjet printer for the Lisa is the Canon PJ 1080A. I wish I had some real docs for this printer, but I don't. Lisa's LisaDraw routines (later rewritten in 68000 assembly and ported to the Mac and renamed as QuickDraw) do support color, although its display is 1 bit black and white, so, if you print a graphic that has color on this printer, you'll get color. I believe these were 16 colors, so 4 bit. There was also a Daisywheel printer for the Lisa too, which was very interesting, since it supposedly could also print graphics too according to the advertisements. I can imagine that it must have used a single period character to poke dots, so it must have been super slow. I couldn't find any real docs for it however. Adrian Graham wrote:
