Picked this up for nearly nothing at a local recycler, it was too cute
to pass up. It's a 3M "WhisperPrinter" (model 1904AA), and it's a small
(40 column, 4.5" wide) thermal printer with a serial interface. It
appears to work (runs a self-test if you hold the line feed button while
powering on) but I don't know what the pinout for the interface on the
rear is (it's a 20-pin header).
This looks to be a rebadged Trendcom 100 (which I can also find very
little technical info about) used on a number of early home computers
(Atari, TRS-80, PET). Anyone happen to have a manual for this?
Thanks,
Josh
