I took another look at this one since I hadn't used it
in a week.  It has a 25 pin serial interface, and the system
came with the cord to go from the //c 5 pin din to the 25 pin
serial.

The system didn't include any cards.

While the name says thermal printer, it does not (unless
I'm missing something) need thermal paper.  It has a
ribbon and prints on regular paper.
