As a small-time dealer for ThunderWare, I would like to set the information
on ThunderScans and ImageWriters straight.

The old ThunderScan (shipped before 9/1/85) will not work with the 15"
ImageWriter or the ImageWriter II due to the hardware design.  The old
software is incompatible with the LaserWriter/AppleTalk as well.

The new ThunderScan hardware will work with all three printers. 
(ImageWriter I 10" and 15", ImageWriter II)  The new software handles the 
LaserWriter beautifully, but is not, however, compatible with the 
ImageWriter II.  

A software update to handle the ImageWriter II will be available by January 1 
for a nominal update fee ($5).  All ThunderScans currently shipped include a
postcard to order the updated software.  An update to the old hardware is 
currently available for $15 (if I remember correctly).

I hope this clears up the confusion.
