It was an early printer, based on a typewriter mechanism (Olympus, I
believe). I used it with a Commodore 64 (this should help date it) soon
after the Commodore came out. The nine pin dot-matrix printers available
then gave poor print quality. The Daisy wheel printers gave typewriter
quality, albeit slowly, and had all the features such as subscript,
superscript, bolt, underline, etc. The Commodore printers of that era did
not have descenders for the lower case g, j, p, and y letters, for
instance.
I believe the price was $240.00
Cheers,
Lee
