Does any kind soul out there have a 20Meg hard disk that they would be
willing to swap for a Gemini-10X printer?  I made a similar swap a while
ago to get a drive mech as the basis for a homebrew harddrive system but
after spending all of my money on the case, pwr supply, host adaptor,
Adaptec controller and misc junk, it turned out that the drive I was
trading for was bad!  Now I have everything I need but the drive mech
itself and am I dissapointed!  
   Anyway, I have a Gemini-10X printer (good, solid basic printer, Epson
compatible but doesn't have a dedicated NLQ mode) which is perfect for fast
drafts of programs and stuff.  It uses easy to get (and cheap) typewriter
ribbon and is a very nice little printer.  I want to trade it for at least
a 20Meg hard disk mechanism (can be full height).  If no one has a 20Meg or
bigger that they want to trade, how about "donating" that 10Meg unit that
you've got sitting around since you upgraded to a larger drive?  I'll pay
shipping costs for the printer, and if someone wants to donate their 10Meg
unit, I'll pay to ship it!
  Please help me, I'm sure you can all sympathize with someone who came
home today thinking I was going to have my long awaited hard disk tonight
only to have my hopes dashed to the ground!
