Re: Dead serial ports(1 response?) I need Jeff!

[John Wilson]

I doubt it has anything to do with your particular problem, but there's 
a patch you need for using the Apple StyleWriter 4100/4500 with OS 9. 
It's available from Apple's support web site. Also, when you use it, 
the printer works fine but you can no longer do background printing and 
I think (IIRC) that it won't do a desktop printer. John

this on my own so to speak. Thanks anyway>>David
