[HECnet] Which is THE dec printer?

[Daniel Soderstrom]

I'd love a daisy wheel! Are there any which will hook up to   a vax 4000? Though I remember collecting my printouts from the sysop in 1st year 1991 and you could hear the line printers grinding away. Need 230 (ish) volts too.

Basically size doesnt matter, as I will have to pay for a pallet, regardless of whats on it.

Kindly,

The chances of a printer turning up in Perth, WA are zip. If I had to pay money for one "desert island" DEC printer. What would it be?
What are your requirements? What do you want to use it for? Connected to what?

The sound is not to be underestimated. Personally I like fast daisywheels for that railgun effect...
