Though I have 5 printers on my Amiga, the daisy wheel one is the SR2000
from Sears.  Yes, Sears.  Has both the parallel Centronics connector and
Diablo-630 emulation, and a serial connector for use on the C64.

It's also a portable typewriter with features simply beyond belief.  Uses
the carbon film ribbon and also the "standard" IBM-type lift-off correction
ribbons.

Large variety of fonts and sizes.

As a typewriter, it's great.  And as a printer it's great.  Prints about
15 chars per second; for perfect letter-quality full-formed-chars, that's
acceptable for me.  I would NOT use this for program listings, natch!  :-)

The complete model name is "SR2000, The Electronic Graduate".  I paid less
than $300 at Sears.  The unit is actually manufactured by Smith-Corona.
