While I would agree that most later impact dot-matrix printers are of 
little interest to me, there were some very odd machines out there that I 
find fascinating. The Sanders printers that did up to 8 pases of the 
printhead to produse very near letter quality output (one of the later 
ones of those was build on a DIablo 630 chassis, and the output is very 
much daisywheel quality, for all there's a 7 pin dot matrix head in 
there). The Versatec V80 electrostatic printer is another odd beast -- it 
builds up a charge image on special paper and then flows liquid toner 
over it (yes, I have one, and not just beacuae it was one printer 
supported on the PERQ).
