[vcf-midatlantic] Consignment shot-in-the-dark question

[Dan FitzGerald]

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

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?
