I was hoping to be able to use my old style writer 2 with my new imac. Is this possible? I didn't see a style writer icon in the chooser and would need some sort of adapter to conn…
I believe that someone was selling an adapter that went from Stylewriter to Ethernet.
I'll look for it, just wanted you to know that it was possible...
I found it! Farallon makes…
I have set up two original imac's to use Stylewriter II printers using Keyspan's USB to serial adaptors. If you're crunched for desktop space, the stylewriters can do very nicely, …

I got an email from a helpful user. He suggests placing the drive in a larger drive casing or piece of furniture with bubble wrap or styrofoam egg carton in between the two.
