DEC LA180 printer (&LA100)

[Paul Anderson]

I know of a few people still using the LA100. The print head is the same as
the LA210. There were 2 power supplies for the LA38/38, which might work in
ihe 100 or 210.  I don't think any of the LA36 and LA180 electronics are the
same, although the heads were interchangable.  Neither have any electronics
in common with the LA120.
