Tandy's first plotter printer is build like a
tank but with very clean design.. |

The main problem with this printer is the paper.
It looks like standard pin feed paper, but is in fact about 8 mm (1/3" ?)
less wide. And as the paper transport has no friction feed, you have to make
your own holes if the original paper runs out :-) It is no longer available from Radio Shack. |

Just a standard Centronics like interface. It
even works with modern Windows as a "Generic / Text only" printer. Uppercase
only. Alas I have no specification of the plotter commands yet. |
