One of the 'Power without the Price' products from ATARI.
basicly a 300 dpi Laser unit with only minimal control
logic (only a bit map buffer for one (?) line of graphic.

Connection to the ST computers where made via the ACSI port -
ATARIs castarated version of SCSI used for the ST Harddisk.
The whole font and page processing had to be done by the
host computer - but the Printer was availabel for less than
2000 Mark (~1300 USD) when new - only haf the price of the
cheapest 'regular' laser printer.

Servus
Hans
PS.: 20c for THE hair (but only if a nice poly acryl
     display case is included).
