I have just received a Starwriter, which I am using on an
IBM PC, particularly with the Final Word word processor.
I would like to share comments and experiences with other users
of this printer.  I plan to use QUME-style rather than DIABLO
print wheels with it, since I prefer their typestyles.
I have not yet found any good source for a pretty proportional
space daisy wheel, such as "Madeleine".

By the way, the purchase price was $1028, including shipping,
pretty good, I think, for a letter quality 40 cps printer.
(From the "Computer Mail" mail order house.)

FW treats the printer as uni-directional for word processing output.
(In "serial", unidirectional mode, the printer has more
functionality.) I wonder if anyone has a public program for this
printer that runs it bidirectionally, while giving decent formatting
output.

Please respond publicly or privately...
