Terminet30

Brian, I can give the 30 a home, and I work in SE Brampton, so a pick-up should be fairly straightforward to arrange. Contact me off-list to discuss details. The Terminet 30 looks much more (late 70's?) modern than the old Terminet 300 I used as a letter-quality printer back in 1982-3. It was big and heavy (and old even then), with a rack of cards attached to the back containing the logic. I saw a fellow working on one with the lid up - wearing a tie. Never do that. Fortunately, the band drive had stall detection, or it could have been serious. An old German physics prof I had for a "reports" course was reputed to dislike word processors, and the previous years' class insisted that laser printouts from the Computing Center cost them marks... Terminet 300 output tends to look a little uneven, since hammer-belt timing is slightly variable, character fingers are bendable, and each of the (113 on the T300) hammers hits slightly differently - so output LOOKed like it came from a tired old manual typewriter. Don't know if it was that, or my sterling prose, but I got 48/50 on that course. Ah, memories. Regards, Bob Maxwell
