Does anyone on the list have a DWP, who is looking for the tractor feeder or cut sheet feeder attachment? I recently came in to an extra pair, and I'll let them go cheap. PM me if you're interested.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, many vintage computer folks consider printers ( much less printer accessories ) worthless.  I don't understand this, back in early eighties I worked for Epson and was very into printers.  But recently I have been to several vintage computer shows, many with free tables and the one rule is that printers are not allowed because nobody picks them up, and at the end the show organizers end up having to dispose of them.

Back in the 80s, people used these computers to do real work that needed hardcopy.

Nowadays, "vintage folks" are just screwing around with them, "archiving" software, playing games, and replacing capacitors. No need for a printer.
