That's very cool. I like that impact printers are still around in 2026. Epson sells new 9-pin dot matrix printers, too. https://epson.com/For-Work/Printers/Impact-Dot-Matrix/LX-350-Impact-Dot-Matrix-Printer/p/C11CC24001 > > If you create an image of the result, I am sure old computer's fans will > love it, > but think of making it Linux compatible... just by using DJGPP > I got the idea for this program because I wrote a (simple) version of it for my new book. That program reads text input and generates a PGM image (which is viewable on Linux) that emulates a dot-matrix printer. There's even some sample output in the book. :-) https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/979-8-8688-2931-4 The DOS version will display in graphics mode as it goes, with sound, so you can watch the printed image appear. I figure that will be exciting for people to see. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
