I'm still searching for the right printer for my ST.

In the January BYTE, page 402, there's an ad from FOCUS Computers where
it says they'll sell you a Toshiba P321 printer for... $348.50!
Is that a typo?  That printer costs a LOT more elsewhere: it's a 24-pin
device.  Can somebody tell me whether this printer comes in pieces, i.e.
whether the base unit needs a $100 tractor and a $100 interface added
before it's usable?

Has anybody had any dealings with Focus?  What's the safe
way to test them out (without the possibility of having $350 tied up
for months)?  (They are probably honest but you have to be careful...)
