I'll be in thermal paper for life if I buy the case!  Thanks for the  
tip.

Yeah, I realize that thermal paper is the antithesis of archival  
quality.  I just wanna be able to play with the printer a bit.  Might  
be fun to hook up to the serial port of a microcontroller, too.

I've put together a pretty complete MC-10 system, now.  Haven't come  
across any of the software packages for auction, though.  I'm curious  
about what other upgrades one could come up with for the computer--it  
never really received any consideration back in the day  
(understandably so).  Assumedly it would be possible to build some  
kind of ECB-like ROM, or perhaps add new inputs through its expansion  
port (e.g. joysticks).  I believe the CPU has a built-in UART,  
although it isn't wired up for use.
