Hi:
I remember, from the summer of '90 to the spring of '91, I used to have a printer that made the sound I'm looking for. It was a parallel printer. The pins would make a very low-pitched crunchy, choppy sound when printing characters. It made me think of eating some cereal! Appetizing to say the least. Anyways, despite the low-pitched sound, the movement of the motors was rather fast.
Here are two pictures of the computer that used the aforementioned printer:

2. http://www.thepcmuseum.net/comp_images/photo_CoronaPortable.JPG
I was a kid back then, about 6-7 years old. My dad gave me that computer to play around with.
I forgot the name of this printer. Does anyone have any idea what printer this was? I wonder if anyone has made a youtube recording of its sounds.
Thanks,
Green Xenon
