The Diconix (by Kodak) is the one we and several others use with both the
Zenith 181 and the Toshiba 1100/etc.  It is a great little light machine,
but it does have it's quirks.

One example:  If you use a word processor that tries to write using
graphics rather than the rom-based character generator, you get 88 lines
per page.  The Diconix has a 12-dot high line rather than a 9-dot high,
giving it better resolution, but not staying compatible with the 9-dot high
printers.

The Diconix is also the only one we are aware of that will run on batteries
for 150 pages per charge.
