[net.micro.cbm] c64 word processing hardware questions

tfl@ihps2.UUCP (Thomas F. Lorch) (05/14/84)

A friend of mine wants to do word processing
with his Commodore 64 and needs to know what
hardware and software is necessary to accomplish
this.  A few questions are in order:  1) Is the
new Commodore 1541 disk drive really reliable
now, or should he buy the MSD drive or some other
drive?  2) Which printer and interface should he buy?
(Daisy wheel model number and/or high quality
dot matrix such as the Prowriter.)  3) Is the
Gazette's word processor sufficient?  Please tell
me where he should purchase the above mentioned
items.  Thanks.
