never heard of a SCSI-like connector on an Imagewriter... less its a PC-style parallel port? i thought they had just a little round plug that matches the Mac's serial ports. then again, i never had an Imagewriter, only a Stylewriter (serial inkjet)
there have been a few somewhat recent discussions here about the capacitor issue. my Classic is also leaking but i do still have audio. i can see the sludge on the logic board. i am not up to replacing the caps though, nor has mine been thru a dishwasher. if i understand it right, the sludge leaking out of the old capacitors shorts out parts of the board, and the dishwasher fix basically cleans off the sludge, which makes the audio work again, usually. it is a temp fix of course.
