    │ one time my 'monitor' (i call them displays) blew and i was able to redirect │ the output to my printer so i could see what directries i was in and what i
    │ was doing. that was only dos though. i can't belive i even did that. └─[M=>RM]

    I had to do that once with my old XT. Had the output going to the Star
    NX1000 I had hooked up to it. I still have that printer here somewhere.
    If it was easy to get ribbons for I might find a use for it.

    OMG the star NX1000 was the 2nd printer I ever bought, back in the 80's
    It worked great with my TRS80 Color Compter 2.
    My 1st printer was the Tandy DMP 105 dot matrix printer.

    I always wanted one of those. I had a crappy Citizen printer that only did bold and regular print, if I recall those Star printers had a couple of fonts.
