*Not sure* if this could be classed as a classic "computer", but it is a dumb terminal so whatever.

Texas Instruments Silent 700 Model 703.


Picked one of these up for about œ60 - anyone has a play around with these? Got mine printing out POST requests from an API :-)

I got one on eBay and have it hooked up to my Altair-Duino as a terminal.

Works really nice.

The paper is standard fax paper. You can get it at most office supply stores.

But the cable needs ALL the control lines hooked up. I had to make my own cable
and loop CTS<->RTS and DTR<->DSR on the 700's side of the cable.

That qualifies in my view. :D

I always loved the keyboards on dumb terminals.
