Did DEC make any sort of impact printer, besides dot-matrix printers? I
have an LA50 or two, and dot-matrix isn’t what I’m after.
They sold some drum, chain, and band printers, but I think they were all
OEM'd. Late examples were the LP25, LP26, and LP27/LP29. Note that some
system-specific printer subsystems (e.g., LP11-xx, LP20-xx, and LP32-xx)
contained printers with their own separate designations.
As far as I recall, the only printer mechanisms DEC made themselves were
dot matrix impact or electrolytic. Of course, they also OEM'd some
dot-matrix printers, including the LA50 and LA75.
I remember seeing the LA-36 Production Line at Westfield in 1975.
They made them by the 1000. When I sold them my MOQ was 500.
