Daisywhell typewriter emulating a TTY

[ED SHARPE]

I  remember  in '79   a  KSR  Diablo  was   the  dream  KSR  printing  terminal  and   cost  like   3  grand? Oh  how  we  used  to  dream of having one of these  back then!

We  do have  one in the museum's  collection...  although   have not attempted to power up  to use.

I've given a couple of the Diablo KSRs (that's what the Hitypes with the
keyboard were known as).  I didn't care for them much--no immediacy of
sound and keypress--the two seem unrelated.

Daisywheel printers are incredibly difficult to get rid of--nobody wants
to pay shipping.  I got rid of the last one by throwing in a complete
system with it.  Still have a NEC Spinwriter mouldering away.
