Bressen) Subject: more on printing terminals To: cctech(a)classiccmp.org Message-ID: <0qpt8cwwur.fsf(a)lanconius.mirror.to> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I've been getting interested in printing terminals. (I am seeking professional help for this, but meanwhile...). Is there a device which is a good modern (correcting) typewriter, true letter-quality (daisy, thimble, golfball) printer, and also a terminal? Plenty of typewriters were made with serial or parallel ports, but I don't know of anything with both correction tape and a control key... Correcting Selectric II's came out around 1973, and the LA36 Decwriter II in 1974, with the Selectric III and LA100 still being available at least into the mid-eighties... was there really no perceived market for a product that combined the strengths of both?

akb, still waiting for the reinvention of the versioning file system and the standardized stacking error facility
