So what twist of fate do I key in to see witness to the Imagewriter I I meet Russian Overclocking where they stick supply capacitors 5x what they normally are on the board, and put printing plates around the platen? -@Flossaluzitarin
I do not know, but I am sure if it does not exist yet Bruce Sterling or William Gibson will call it into being by starting to write a story with that as a minor element only out that it already existed as they wrote about it, not realizing that they were shaping the near future as they wrote.
I can say that they Image Writer ɪ ɪ had a primitive scanner attachment that was the shape of ink ribbon cartridge. The sheet feeder also was terrible. ProDos opened the ability to use more RAM or even a RAM disk before GSos did.
You got me thinking though. The pins were metal, and possibly one could conduct electricity through them to foil paper, and that could act like a printing plate if it removed… I have too many projects.
I have to run a self check.

Edit, add- that should just be KERNEL OK, but I’ll leave the prompt and cursor because I remember it like that with the bell (control-G) sound, but longer sounding and pitched differently.
