Egad, it works. Took me this long to get around to finish printer code and final check the hardware.
While the sound is satisfying as expected (and since this is not something i need to live with daily its all pleasure) tractor feed, "top of form", tangles, output caught up in intake, all those fun things return also. Never mind all the dead trees. But realistically this box of paper will last me probably forever.
There's this many modules to the MP/M operating system distribution. I tell ya, its shockingly usable. Its missing tools, which i am writing. The compile load go debug edit loop is very slow, which i'm working on. A lot of improvements have been made to our tools and systems in the last 40 years.

"Cannot attach a video to a post that already has an image" OK ...
Epson still makes this thing (LX-350). This tech is MATURE! 4 million character ribbon life, $6 for the factory ribbon. Print head good for I think 40 million characters. Rock solid, superbly built thing.
