When it comes to transferring data between mutually incompatible systems,
nothing can compare with putting a box full of solenoids on the keyboard!
At one time their primary market was as a way to convert a perfectly good
typewriter into a ridiculous printer. There were two main contenders: the
Rochester Dynatyper (which had a dual board for connecting to the bus of
Apple ][ and TRS-80 I/III), and the KGS-80 (which cabled to an ordinary
Centronics port)
I'm ready to part with my KGS-80. I got it used about 15 years ago, and
used it once for exercising sticking keys on a keyboard, and once for
transferring a 100 pages of manuscript from a TRS-80 into a Merganthaler
typesetting machine.
This is THE device that will transfer files to ANYTHING. IF you can stop
laughing.
Best offer.
Help prevent it ending up on e-bay!
