Other Upgrades:
You left out the TRS-80 Screen Printer, a widget that plugs into the
connector otherwise used for the Expansion Interface. Hit the switch
on the front of the printer, and it ejects a few inches of silvery
electrostatic paper with the image on your screen zapped dark on it.
My understanding is that it grabs the image right out of the screen
memory.
Somewhere I have some pages printed by one of these. As I recall they
didn't last long as a product. I think I have two Radio Shack
microcomputer catalogs from 1978 (one white/black/silver, one later
one in full color) and the screen printer is only shown in the earlier
catalog, but both are loaned out to someone who wanted to scan some
pictures from them. (Hey Javier, are you reading this?)
