Does anyone have anything like this?
No, but I'd be interested in either an OpenType or Postscript font for the
Mac. :^)
I found this one but it's not free:

I'm sure I have some chain-printer output from an IBM chain printer that
had a fairly new ribbon from when I worked at EDS... I saved most of my JCL

The chain printer I had access to may have been uppercase only, tho.
I can scan some in if anyone needs, but I know nothing about making
fonts... (and $42 for one typeface seems a *bit* excessive... 8-O )
