Its all text and controlchars of course. The database front end as I
recall was quite pretty, but not mega exciting, it was meant to be useful
after all!
Sad thing is although it has a serial bus and a centronics printer
interface, no modern printer can be used as it needs the old Epson codes to
work.

Searching may find a way to persuade a modern printer to accept the
Epson codes, but the real problem would be finding a printer that still
has a centronics connection. The last one I owned a printer with one of
those was a fairly ancient Canon BJ10. I sent an Olivetti sparkjet to a
museum a few months ago, and that emulated the Epsons perfectly.
