[Duo2400] Re: stylewriterII print driver...

Dear Tom&Jay it beeps with the alt and command keys held - but i've still not gotten any further with the printing. (i've also tried the turning appletalk on and off thing) i've installed the swII driver, and that elicits no response (guess it doesn't work with my sys T-7.5.5, as Luc mentioned).

[Duo2400] stylewriterII print driver...

umm... just tried printing something from my resuscitated duo 230 (sys T-7.5.3>7.5.5) on my old stylewriterII, and curiously enough, the print monitor says the printer isn't answering (during the printer identification phase). so i checked the chooser, and, ok, i only find an option to select

The battery in the duo 230 I inherited didn't hold the charge anymore. So a friend of mine decided as a present he'd give me a "new" original battery. It came in its original box, wrapping & all; NiMH Model# 7782 - BS3104SEC72. So I put it into the Duo, let it charge 24 hours and then tried the D

OK, I'm getting a little wiser. Probably the fact I'm not getting online with my ex-German Duo230 has something to do with the fact that the serial-port-to-phone-line-connector piece (part D826-1556-A) looks country specific (maybe that's what the additional big D in the bottom right hand corner
