I didn't know that Cromemco made printers and terminals, and, actually, I'm
quite sure they didn't. What this means is that these are probably
private-brand-labeled printers, most likely from Centronics unless they're
from the Epson era, and the terminals, likewise, are private brand-labelled
terminals, possibly from SORROC (model 220, maybe?) Anything's possible,
however, so I'd look inside one. There should be ample clues.
