1) Is there a Windows 3 driver for the IBM 5201-2 (Silentwriter-family 
I belive) available anywhere ? (if so, please tell me, and ignore 2)

2) (if not) Where can I find the information needed to write such a
driver ? That is, what is the general method of writing these, and
where could I get the printer specific information ? (No manual .. :-(

The silentwriter III -driver supplied with Windows 3 does not work with
this one. The problem seems to be that the printer doesn't agree
with the driver about the 'move paper upwards' -command, but
everything printed accumulates on the first line of the sheet. 

I would very much like to use this with windows, since it apparently
can do graphics with quite many DPI (text printed is _really_ sharp,
and this seems basicly to be a dot matrix device).

Please reply with e-mail. I'll post a summary later if I get useful
answers. Thank you (even) in advance !
