Bill, OKI or Epson would be my best choice.  If I'm going more period, I'll be using PC Paint Plus, which supports Okimate 20 Color and Epson JX- 80.  But I've managed to get PC Paint 3.1 and Inset 2.1 installed, and those support the Okimate 20 Color, and the Epson B&W and Color 9- and 24-pin printers.   Regards, Dan FitzGerald They/Them or She/Her Classical Computing Laboratory at IBM-Poughkeepsie http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/dfitzger -----Original Message----- From: Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Reply-To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Cc: Bill Degnan <billdegnan@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Consignment shot-in-the-dark question Date: 04/05/2024 02:29:24 PM There would not have been a lot of color printers for the PC Jr from that time, which model did you have in mind?  A Gorilla printer or OKI printer?

I'm exhibiting a PCjr for VCF East, and have been getting it prepped for the event.  It occured to me the other day to install a paintbrush program on it, and after I was done with that it occurred to me that maybe it would be worth having a color dot matrix printer to go with it,

Does anybody happen to be selling a working, period-appropriate, color dot-matrix printer at consignment this year?  (But not an ImageWriter II, I am looking for something that would have been hooked up to a PCjr).  If so, let me know and what you're asking for it... if the price is right I'd like to purchase it and some ink for it and get it hooked up into my exhibit

I think I had a Star NX1000C or something like that? 4 color ribbon that shifted up and down. Used it with the Tandy 1000SX I believe. - Ethan On Fri, 5 Apr 2024, Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
