- There is a Kermit term available for the C64. I don't know the specifics of

- ccnga.uwaterloo.ca.

- If you pull the case on that printer, I'll bet you'll find a Citizen 120D
- printer underneath. A mail-order place I've used for years for printer
- ribbons is V-Tech, Inc., 2223 Rebecca, Hatfield, PA (USA) Phone: (215)
- 822-2989. V-tech also sells re-inkable cartridges for many dot-matrix
- printers (I have one for my Star NX-1000 and Panasonic KX-P2123). They sell
- printer ink in various sizes too, if you want to manually re-ink your ribbons
- (or replenish the auto-inkers).
