subject: interface is _serial_

AA> RJT> Oh,  and the other thing about it is that its interface is _serial_.
AA> RJT> There are a number of dipswitches and I have no info about how to
AA> RJT> set them up.

AA>I have a semi-retired SMITH-CORONA electric typewriter that features a serial
AA>port.  At the time, circa 1985, I bought it specifically for the option to
AA>"automate" printing from a computer (at which time an x86
or x88 was a big
AA>bucks).   Well..  never got around to programming the serial port for it.  The
AA>typewriter has other  redeeming features though.

AA>It just boggles the mind when I think about how much computer tech and
AA>interfaces have changed over the recent years - and how much money I've poured
AA>into keeping up with the stuff.


Thus my favorite tag line:

Buy now, pay the price; buy later miss all the fun!
