     I called CompuClub in Framingham, MA (617-879-5232) and asked about the 
1027 printer.  They were extremely helpful, and gave me the following
information:

	*) The 1027 is not *really* a letter quiality printer.  Its
	   print mechanism is similar to that found in an adding machine
	   (remember those? :-) and is suitable for 1 to 2 page documents,
	   maximum.

	*) Atari has not made the 1027 in 7 months.  Their current printers
	   are the XMM801 and XMM804, neither of which is letter quality.

The search continues.  I'd like to ask the entire community: what do you use
for letter quality output?  Remember, I am looking for something to connect
to my 850 interface, and it should be usable from AtariWriter+.  I'm about to
drop the word CHEAP from my qualifications, though a LaserWriter or LaserJet
is out of the question :-).
