Anyone remember saving $100 by writing a printer device driver for Atari 800s
that went through the joystick ports instead of the serial port?

Mine was 40 bytes long- just enough to fit in the cassete port buffer.  It
translated the ATASCII code for new line into CR.  Also, it didn't have a
timeout.  Instead you just held down the BUSY line to quickly ignore a
printout.
