well, kind of.
i have a canon typestar 5r typewriter. it has an ascii rs232 interface, a keyboard,
and a display. however, it cannot transmit data from the keyboard to rs232; it's
a typewriter that can act as a printer, not a terminal.
as far as paper goes, it'd be agnostic on that score; back when i was using it,
i used stacks of tractor-feed paper with the ears torn off. it'll take single sheets,
or you could use a roll the same way i was using stacks of tractor-feed paper.
i also have a dec la100 terminal. the tractor feed was an option, which
i happen to have. naturally, i used it with tractor feed paper. however, since the
tractor feed was an option, it will grip and advance single sheets. you could feed
a roll through it.
