Look around for a later dot-matrix printer (e.g. Epson, Oki, etc.) Many
have downloadable font features and serial options.

I think you have the essence of a solution, using the Unix filter paradigm at
user or driver level.
Your desire to retain the original file format(s) is very sensible, it is
always best to record "raw" data - for the greatest fidelity.
The ISO 7-layer model provides a paradigm for data

The first ingredient must be a printer with a a suitable font table, in these

Hello there,
Earlier this December I got an Altos 386 series 1000 with lots of
documentation and some installation floppy disks and one tape. I must say
that it's an amazing machine!
I'd like to reinstall the os but I have two problems:
1. It can not access the floppy drive. I tried it with
So I have an MSV11-QC (the 4gb Q Bus memory board) that has a failed
bit. On an 11/73 it throws the following error:
Expected data = 125252 (1010 1010 1010 1010
Bad data= 121252 (1010 0010 1010 1010)
Address = 10015140
Which puts the error in the top 2mb (1mw), bit 4000. No
