SW IIs are more square looking and bigger than the original and the paper
comes out the bottom onto a slide out tray I think, while it comes out the
top on the original. The II says Stylewriter II on the front as well.

No hardware networking on either, you have to have it direct connected to a 
Mac running greyshare or maybe quickdraw GX.

I heard once that Sun Remarketing had a good deal on the original SW, might
give them a try.
