I don't think I've ever seen the battery version,  but then I don't get out 
shopping much like I used to.  :-)

Yeah,  the old daisywheel type printers would definitely get you some useful 
stuff.  I scrapped one of those,  and have two more sitting in storage,  
though one is technically a "thimble" printer rather than a daisywheel,  an 
NEC "Spinwriter".  I look forward to getting some useful stuff out of those 
when the time comes.
