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 :-).
