[comp.os.cpm] CP/M machines hitting rock bottom?

Hmmmm.....

I that case, could someone point me to a daisy-wheel printer for
under $100?  I need one for my Thesis; or I'll have to pay for the
laserprinting...   :-(

I've been looking for a (cheap) daisywheel printer for a while now, too.  No
luck, unfortunatly.  I guess if it's IBM compatable, it's still worth money.
However, the HP DeskJet has to hit $300 sooner or later, and then...

BTW, I'm starting to have serious regrets about my original posting.   It
appears that the "ridiculous" price I paid for my machine was quite high,
actually.  I'm just burning with jelousy...

I have been trying to reply on this subject but all
my mail bounces, so a quick injection here I have
an alphcom daisy wheel printer with a pc centronics
interface that I have been trying to unload for
$75 if you are interested call me at 206/286-8824.

Well how about this.  I got two working Diablo 1650's, the service manuals,
alignment tools, spare parts for free.

Uh, but they are not for sale.

IMHO nobody anywhere makes a better daisy wheel printer than Diablo.  Ribbons
are fairly reasonable and readily available.  What more can you ask for.

  Computer Shopper shows Tredex unloading NEW Diablo 635's (55 Characters/ second) for $199.00.  They're marked Xerox as I think they originally were bundled with Xerox 820-II's.
