Please answer whichever you can, via e-mail or a posting. 1. The Imagewriter II documentation calls for an Apple Super Serial Card. Is this required? Can I substitute one of the "clone" super serial that are advertissed in InCider? How about a Grappler interface card? 2. Presently, we have a "generic" serial interface card for use with either printer or modem. We've set it up for modem use. Is there any reason why the machine couldn't host two serial cards, one for the printer and one for the modem? If this will work, what should the slot assignments be? 3. Can a super serial card serve both the printer and the modem without moving cables with each use? I'll appreciate any insight. Thanks a bunch. _Brint -- Brinton Cooper
