** [[IBM Wheelwriter/Options/PC Printer|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. UPDATE: Thankfully tofergregg created an IBM Wheelwriter 3/6 compatible [https://github.com/tofergregg/IBM-Wheelwriter-Hack PC Printer Option using an Arduino without even having one.] All you need is an Arduino Nano and some basic electronic components, which can even just be on a breadboard if you're not a soldering nut. | ** [[IBM Wheelwriter/Options/PC Printer|PC Printer Option]] - The most important option was an Parallel interface for printing from a PC, effectively transforming the Wheelwriter into a daisywheel printer.
