[net.micro.6809] Query on TRS DMP-105 printer

knudsen@ihnss.UUCP (11/22/84)

Has anyone seen or tried Radio Shack's new DMP-105 dot-matrix printer?
For a mere $199.95 it seems like excellent value, especially for
someone whose computer has only a serial (RS232) interface.
With its 9x8 matrix it might even have true descenders :-) ?
Has other features for sure: 80 c/min, 3 character pitches, graphics,
underline, boldface.  Can it be switched so as NOT to add its own linefeed
after each carriage-return?  This is needed to allow some word-procs
to do overstrikes.
	Please mail any replies to me, or post in .6809 or .trs-80, TIA.
PS: I decided not to bother with the Gorilla Banana or the Olivetti inkjet.
PPS: The DMP-105 takes either tractor or friction feed 8.5" wide paper.
