another day another modification. PRINTER! See details in PRINTER

I have tested LPRINT and LLIST from Basic 5.29e.

Splash screen gone to keep under 100k.

Should I include a dotmatrix SFX as it prints? Feedback, complaints and suggestions welcome.

Brenden released a megademo of pushing the metal along 15000 times a second, and Vibedrone stuttered and shook. AI tells me

"A dot. A line. The tube draws breath,
and wakes in amber, green and light.
A terminal counts the memory’s depth,
then tears itself apart, row by row, in the night.

No sprites, no copper, no blitter’s hand,
just a chip that’s told, line after line,
read from here, and as the beam crosses the land
a bar twists slowly, nothing drawn, all design.

The plasma breathes between the beats,
the Kefrens bars race the falling gun,
a tunnel opens, a floor retreats,
a torus turns in dithered sun.

And under it all, one speaker sings
two voices, squeezed in the scanlines’ seams,
a megabyte full of impossible things,
a 1982 machine dreaming 2026 dreams.

Then the picture folds to a line, to a dot,
and the glass goes quiet, but the bee does not."

so here is a updated emulator that hugs the beam:
