The 6300 (and 6300 Plus) were designed and built by
Olivetti, probably by the same engineers who used to keep Mussolini's trains running
on time. Their DB-25 video connector is the only reliable way ever discovered to break a
Radio Shack Daisy Wheel Printer II (aside from tossing the beast into a smelter).
Convergent did the 7300 and 3B1 Unix PCs (vastly superior machines in my arrogant opinion,
but I'm partial to just about any MC68k series systems that didn't come from
Cupertino).
I don't understand the line about the db25 monitor connector being able
to break a printer. Could you explain?
