 I'm reminded of my FIRST printer...
 It was a KSR teletype machine with a paper tape reader/writer.
 Since the Coco didn't provide for a line feed, I had to modify the teletype 
machine with a microswitch, and large cap, a solenoid and a resistor to bump 
the line feed on a carriage return.
 Darn that thing was noisy. My wife complained about it so much I had to put 
it in a closet and line the closet with blankets to make it bearable.
 I actually was able to save and load stuff to/from that tape, but for the 
life of me, I can't remember how I did it.
 This was only an experiment and it worked. Never actually needed to use it.
 Those were the days!
