    From Keith Densmore@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 29 08:21:08 2021
    Greeting to All,
    I am trying to add to a list of data terminals that have the following features.

    1/ ASCII RS232 interface
    2/ Contain both a printer, keyboard, and some type of screen, large or small. 3/ Roll feed paper, not single sheets.

    So far I can only come up with a Brother EP44 and a Panasonic KX-D4930.
    Do you know of any others that fill the bill?

    Thanks,
    Keith

    well, kind of.

    i have a canon typestar 5r typewriter. it has an ascii rs232 interface, a keyboard,
    and a display. however, it cannot transmit data from the keyboard to rs232; it's
    a typewriter that can act as a printer, not a terminal.

    as far as paper goes, it'd be agnostic on that score; back when i was using it, i used stacks of tractor-feed paper with the ears torn off. it'll take single sheets,
    or you could use a roll the same way i was using stacks of tractor-feed paper.

    i also have a dec la100 terminal. the tractor feed was an option, which
    i happen to have. naturally, i used it with tractor feed paper. however, since the
    tractor feed was an option, it will grip and advance single sheets. you could feed
    a roll through it.
