Riteman Plus

There are (at least some) relations to Riteman+ plus printers:

  • The DMP2000 accepts Riteman ribbon cassettes
  • The shape of the case of DMP2xxx/DMP3xxxx series does resemble the Riteman models (although it isn't identical; the front of the Ritemans has a short horizontal edge, then followed by what looks like as a steeper diagonal edge - look at the photos to see for yourself)
  • Unknown if the Riteman's internal PCB, mechanics, and Firmware do have relations to Amstrad models.
  • According to the ACU review: the DMP2000 is "based on" the "Riteman F".
  • Riteman C+/F+ from C.Itoh Electronics Corp

  • Riteman C+ for Commodore

  • Riteman F+ (front)

  • Riteman F+ (back)
