IBM Wheelwriter


 * More info can be found at the Trello board as we migrate knowledge into this wiki.

The IBM/Lexmark Wheelwriter series are the last great typewriters. Their electronic buckling spring keyboards (akin to the IBM Model M), as well as relatively minimal mechanical parts make them durable and usable to this day. Their word processing capability, character correction, and reprint features make them more accessible to modern typists.

Sections

 * Options - The IBM Wheelwriter was capable of a whole host of optional accessories.
 * PC Printer Option - The most important option was an Parallel interface for printing from a PC, effectively transforming the Wheelwriter into a daisywheel printer. Unfortunately, it was also expensive at the time, and remains rare to this day. However, there are hopes that this accessory can be replicated on an Arduino, for attachment to a Raspberry Pi.
