We currently have two Epson FX/80s at home and my little sister
(actually, not so little anymore...you know how it is...) is 
wondering about the feasability of hooking up one of them to
her MacPlus.  I have a couple questions for those who have done
this or previous researched it:
 
1) Is it worth it?
2) What's the output quality?
3) What interfaces are available?  Grapler?  What else?
 
Also, it seems that her internal 800K drive may be failing.
I've suggested trying a head cleaner on it.  If that fails,
where's the best place/price to pick up a replacement drive
which I can install?
 
Thanks --
 
Ken
