Edit: Now I think about it, and glancing at the Acorn manual, and having to address a device over a data channel. There was a CBM 3022 printer attached to the PETs at school which had to be addressed with “OPEN4,4” and that was over IEEE488 (a great thick rubbery cable, bolted on at both ends) http://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/pieee1.html. So, yes, Commodore printers and disc drives, eons ago.
