Description:
Hunted down at North Goodwill to pair up with the IF-50 Computer Interface I picked up a few months ago. Very nice wedge, heavy, large, very featureful and quiet.
Certain mid-80's Brother models came with a data port that, by itself, was useless. It connected to the IF-50 or IF-60 Interface Unit that was also sold in the mid-80's. This unit turns the typewriter into a daisywheel printer capable of accepting Parallel or Serial input.

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother Professional 90 (CX-90) on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother Serial Number page and the Brother Professional 90 (CX-90) By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
