What bus (host) does this plug into? I think I may be
interested. If it
plugs into anything I have, I'm vERY interested.

I'd really like this, but I'm in the UK and can't really afford
shipping on it. If there's any chance of it going in with any other
stuff coming this way, or going cheaply via surface mail, though...

Be very careful - USPS is getting VERY strict about the use of Media
Rate and Printed Bound Matter Rate. Most people use Media Rate for any
printed matter, but by law, any document that shows even a hint of
advertising or personal correspondence, even if from a 50 year old catalog
from a firm that no longer exists and written by
someone now dead, can NOT
go Media Rate. Period. No Slack.
Printed Bound Matter Rate is OK for advertising items, but remember that
if lost (which happens with PBM) it gets discarded without even a try to
return the package. I do not recommend it.
The USPS is starting to aggressively sample any Parcel (Post, Media, and
PMB) packages for compliance.
I got this lecture just yesterday from the postguy in the Post Office. He
said not to abuse Media Rate, or it will go away.

Not that this is the proper place to discuss this (famous last words) but
I don't udnerstand the premise behind that rate anyway. If it costs $X to
move item K of weight W from point A to point B, why should it be any
different to move item J of weight V instead?

USPS rates depend on the number of lobbyists.

Politics. Remember that the USPS is a branch of the government, even
though it pretends not to be.

The 'Media Rate' for books and publications, that prohibits advertising,
is to promote the cheap shipment of books. For libraries and to promote
reading and literacy. It's a form of subsidized shipping. 'For the
greater good' and all that.

New subject: FREE printers - Spring Hill Florida - FREE
I have four printers that were used on the Commodore 64 and will
probably work fine on other machines. They are dot matrix printers.
They are rather old and I am unable to test them but have been told
that they worked the last time they were used.
They are FREE for the taking but they must be picked up in Spring Hill Florida.
