While we're on the subject, i'd like to collect one certain type of printer. one or two examples of one would be nice but, the problem is finding them and shipping them. i'm in Michigan usa and all the "good" stuff seems to be on the other side of the nation or in the UK ;) oh, the type of printer? belt or chain thier called. centronics or serial interface. ever since i saw the belt printer used in the ibm sys 32, i wanted to find a pc compatable one. do they even show up on ebay? anyone know of makes/models i should look for?
