How can I connect my Color StyleWriter 6500 to an EtherTalk network?
DISCUSSION Apple has decided not to offer the Color StyleWriter Ethertalk adapter for the Color Stylewriter 6500. However, there are several third-party LocalTalk to EtherTalk adapters that may be used to connect your LocalTalk printer to an EtherTalk network. Two third-party hardware options are listed below. We encourage you to contact the vendor to ensure the product has the features you want and offers the compatibility that fits your needs. Farallon offers the EtherWave Printer Adapter which plugs into the printer's LocalTalk port and can be connected to either a 10BaseT or Thin coax Ethernet network. Sonic System's product is the microPrint/2 which has a LocalTalk port and offers connectivity to either a 10BaseT or Thin coax Ethernet network. The Color StyleWriter 6500 is not compatible with the supplied serial cable; Sonic recomends using LocalTalk connectors instead. This article provides information about a non-Apple product.
