A mailorder place called DAK is selling Gorilla Banana printers for $149,
including a version with built-in serial interface for the CoCo at the same
price.  This seems pretty good, even tho they admit the Banana has no lowercase
descenders (ie, it prints like the old DMP-100).
What I want to know is/are:
	Does it do bit-image graphic screen dumps?
	What baud rate(s) does it take?
	In general, how good is this printer?  I have heard of it several
	  times in the past.
Please respond by mail or by posting to net.micro.6809, since my host
can receive subgroups but not net.micro itself.  TIA, mike k
