It's also really helpful that a computer from nearly 42 years ago can access its software to run from a modern server to help cut down on the 400k floppy swapping 💾

The printer has 9 pins and does 9 lines at once. The scanner can only do 1 at a time. So it take 9x longer to scan than to print 💁

And I do plan to livestream some of these scans over #GlobalTalk using QuickTime Confercing. Get yourself a copy and I'll let you know when it's time to join in the fun!
