As of just the other day, Vitesse no longer publishes Harmonie. It is now 
available from the new publisher - Shareware Solutions II. The most 
recent version of the Harmonie drivers is v2.11.

Many of the drivers have been updated over the years. I believe that the 
most significant updated driver is the one for the DJ 560c, which can be 
used with later model DeskJets that can be connected to the IIGS, and that 
supports 600 x 300 dpi black and white printing. Color printing is still 
limited to 300 dpi.

I'll soon post a list of the drivers included on Harmonie v2.11, and that 
list will include the dates the drivers were last updated. If owners of 
Vitesse's Harmonie wish to update Harmonie to the latest version, a low 
cost update will be available. But, because Shareware Solutions II did 
get a list of registered owners, proof of ownership will have to 
be submitted along with any update requests; that proof could be a 
receipt from Vitesse, or your original disk (which of course will be 
returned to you).

The cost of that update is only $7, and that includes postage to anywhere 
in the world. Update requests that come in without proof of ownership 
will be returned to sender.

In the meanwhile, I have sent out the Harmonie StyleWriter I driver to a 
couple of people for testing, and if they report back that it works 
better than Apple's driver, that too will be added to Harmonie.
