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.
