   I just bought a used DMP-105, a printer sold by Radio Schlock.  It's
a small printer, dot matrix, with built-in tractor feed (at least that's
how it looks from an ad I saw; I haven't received mine yet).  It sells
for $199 I think.  I bought mine along with a Model 100, a ROM, and a Tandy
Portable Disk Drive for a very low price, so you might even be able to find
a used one for a similarly low price.  But $199 (new) is probably the lowest
you'll find.  The printer is parallel; doesn't tie up the RS-232 fortunately.
80 characters per second in draft mode.  I assume it has a Near-Letter-
Quality mode, but I could be wrong.  Maybe it's just boldface or something.
