[GreenKeys] IBM Selectric

[david freeman]

Keith,

Are you refering to the ones that had a parallel port printer interface?
Back in the late 70's / early 80's those were the hot ticket for "Letter
Quality" printing. You remember LQ and NLQ (near) printers don't you?
I've been searching on eBay for some time to find one,
but either they are very rare or I'm looking in the wrong places.
They were quite expensive at the time.
I don't remember anything that had a serial Baudot interface.

Dave, WW8S
