     I can think of only two reasons to get an Okimate 20: (1) You can get
it free.  (2) You need the saturated colors the thermal transfer process
provides.

     The Okimate 20 on the Amiga is faster than the C64 situation you
described but it is still quite slow.  The horizontal white lines between
strips are a problem.  The story is there was something wrong with the
original Amiga/Oki interface and you can get it fixed.

     But why bother with the Oki when you can get a Star NX-1000 Rainbow
for around $220?
