I remember in '79 a KSR Diablo was the dream KSR printing terminal and cost like 3 grand? Oh how we used to dream of having one of these back then!
We do have one in the museum's collection... although have not attempted to power up to use.

I've given a couple of the Diablo KSRs (that's what the Hitypes with the keyboard were known as). I didn't care for them much--no immediacy of sound and keypress--the two seem unrelated. Daisywheel printers are incredibly difficult to get rid of--nobody wants to pay shipping. I got rid of the last one by throwing in a complete system with it. Still have a NEC Spinwriter mouldering away. --Chuck
