more on printing terminals

I've been getting interested in printing terminals.
(I am seeking professional help for this, but meanwhile...).

Is there a device which is a good modern (correcting) typewriter,
true letter-quality (daisy, thimble, golfball) printer, and also
a terminal?

Plenty of typewriters were made with serial or parallel ports,
but I don't know of anything with both correction tape and a control key...

Correcting Selectric II's came out around 1973, and the LA36 Decwriter
II in 1974, with the Selectric III and LA100 still being available at
least into the mid-eighties... was there really no perceived market
for a product that combined the strengths of both?
