Didn't a number of Brother typewriter models have the capability of
also serving as printers--without modifications? I also wonder if it
might not be better to start with a word-processor type of
typewriter.

There's a genuine Brother computer>typewriter RO interface
for sale right now ($5) on the Vintage Computer auction site.
And if anyone wants to convert an Olivetti typewriter, I still
have a box full of interfaces for several models from the
days when I was involved in their sales and support.
