  Not the TermiNet 30 I thought it was - this one is (gasp!) Dot Matrix!!
A much newer unit, tho the "Cassette Pod" looks about the same.

  Damn - look how hefty that printhead assembly is... made for many
millions of pages, I'm thinkin'.

  For $20 - it might be fun to hook up to the (serial) port of one of your
machines and see if you can print to it. OF course you've got to do the
RS-232 gyrations...

  This is a much different printing mechanism than we have been
describing. I wonder if it still uses the same Hall Effect switch keyboard
- as you said, it's very positive with not a lot of keytravel, and it
'clacks' as you type.


  Thanks for the photos, and for rescuing the old girl. Let's hope
*somebody* here near you wants it...


  Cheers

John
