I can understand that Apple may not have (or is unwilling to spend)
resources necessary to develop a driver, but being unwilling to release
info to third party developers makes little sense to me. If there were a
driver for the StyleWriter II, I'd sell my StyleWriter and buy the new
one. If nothing else, Apple would sell a few more SWII that they
otherwise wouldn't.
