   I'm willing to live with that. I just bought a 92 printer and I'm very
happy with it. The downloadable character set and the dot-addressable
graphics more than make up for the superscripting bug. And it has a vertical
formatting unit almost exactly like IBM 3203 Forms Control Buffers. *Very*
sophisticated (also means I can write, with very little support software,
listings downloaded from our IBM 4341 and send them to my printer and they
paginate properly).

   I don't know about reliability yet; it seems well constructed, although
the cabinet gets a little warm by the power supply after being on for a
while. Also the high-inertia print head is VERY noisy and the form advance
gears make a disquieting clanking noise. At least the head transport system
is more than the plastic gears and rubber belt of the Epson series.
