Has anyone had any experience with the GORILLA BANANA PRINTER?  DAK has them
on sale for $89.90 (+ $69 for an Atari interface + $7 for a graphics driver
program on disk).This price seems too low to be trusted.  Does the thing
work???

DAK has a VERY good reputation and I would suggest any of their products.
Remember, they have a 30 trial package on all their products. If you don't
like it (for any reason) just send it back for a full refund. I bought the
Olivetti Ink Jet printer (a $450 printer) for $199 and am very pleased.

If this is the one with the carbon spark that deposits on the paper,
then yes, it does work.  My parents got one for their apple.  Be sure
to get plenty of supplies (electrodes, etc.) for this discontinued item.
