Read about - never seen

Post by Bill H »

Twice I have come across in old magazines mention of a printer that plugged into the timex sinclair (american made) 1000 and used plain paper. It printed 16 characters per line and used register paper. Has anyone seen this before?

Was that the Alphacom? Or was that another thermal jobbie?

You're probably thinking of the Mindware printer (at least branded that way in the US). I believe the model # was MW100. It was 16 column and used adding machine-type paper.

Search this forum for "Mindware" and you will see posts by me related to this subject, links to css and posts by someone who joined this forum and mentioned he was the one who coded the software for that printer.
