[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Interface to Sears Typewriter

rburton@cpocd2.UUCP (Bob Burton) (07/27/87)

My wife has a Sears SR3000 "Electronic Graduate" typewriter for which Sears
sells an interface box and a cable to convert it into a printer.  What could
possibly be in this box that would justify a $150 price tag?  There is a 40
pin connecter inside the typewriter--its position (not easily accessible with
the top housing on) leads me to think that its main purposes are factory 
testing and service diagnostics.  If anyone out there knows a cheaper way to
make this thing talk to a PC, please reply.

Thanks,

Bob Burton
