Sometime in the mid-70s we acquired a couple of MITE printers (RO type) 
from a source that a co-worker knew when they both worked at Courier 
Terminal Systems in Phoenix. I think they used some kind of parallel 
interface that was integrated with the terminal logic and turned out to 
be too much trouble to mess with for the purpose we had, which was 
printing test results in the factory.     All I remember is they were 
squatty and HEAVY!
