[GreenKeys] current technology printing

[Lee Mushel]

Well, I would assume that all have Eric's (EPVGK) board safely mounted in one of those polar relays I keep hearing about so that will take care of a local loop to handle the "problem" of actual machine control.  I remember building a TU in the '70's that could switch between six machines and that certainly wasn't too demanding.   The biggest problem would be in finding a dot matrix printer (to make legitimate noise) and even more difficult would be finding a driver for such a machine.   I finally had to go to Great Britain to download a driver for my wide carriage printer and then the trouble began because it uses a parallel port and it was only with great difficulty that I finally found such a computer with same!  But then if I grunted a bit somewhere around here  I could find a computer running a 486 with Windows 3.1.

Feeding it would be done with a Flex5000A.
