Ah, the sound of a dot matrix printer!

The thunderscan. Also worked with the imagewriter 1 (and the Apple IIGS)

Now that’s more like it. Good times. I remember dancing to the 2 Star LC-10 printers printing tables in my university computer room. People used to warn each other if a good paper (good meaning lots of tables and graphs, those sounded best) was coming up and throwing a little ‘dance’ party . With beer and (if the it people weren’t watching) crisps. Fun times.

Also playing doom on the only 2 286 computers with color monitors (the other 10 were XT’s) using the dot matrix printers for the sound effects. Again only after office hours of course :slight_smile:

Near letter quality. :rofl: Now that’s a term I had forgotten about. Refreshingly honest actually.
