There was an article on MacWeek about the DeskWriter and Mac II's.  Basically
the article said that if a resistor burns on the Mac II board, the DeskWriter
would not work right.  What is not clear from the article is whether the
DeskWriter is causing the resistor to burn, whether this happens all the time
and only the DeskWriter notices it, and what is the fix?  Also, does this
apply to the "old" DeskWriter without AppleTalk capability (which is the
one I have)?

A couple of mail order places are not carrying the DeskWriter anymore because
of this.

Any info is wellcomed!

Thanks,
-Pablo
