[net.micro.cpm] naive request for info

[what are line eaters anyway?]

I now have in my possession an older s-100 based cpm system (2.2)
(mainly CCS boards with DT-8 drives). I used to do all of my
printing at (my previous) work where they had a similar system.

they used a Cromemco TUART board with their (serial) printers.

I have no print capablity whatsoever and am having a devil of a time
tracking down a TUART board (I have some software to configure it, etc)

Probably by now there is a better board to be had -- only I'd like
the quickest solution (i.e. a plug and run compatible) so I can give
this system to my parents ASAP.

so is this board still made? where is it available? cost?
or what is my best alternative? I really don't have time to customize the
system myself -- unless its a real quick and simple patch -- i've been
spoiled by my mac.
