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...) - Moshe Braner
