I would appreciate hearing if Thunderscan works with Apple's new Imagewriter II. Thanks in advance. David

I have Thunderscan and was considering buying an Imagewriter II so I checked it out on a friend's new printer. Thunderscan needs to have its cable come out the front of the printer so that it is free to scan across the page without getting tangled. This is impossible with the new Imagewriter because the top doesn't lift off like the old one's did. The Thunderscan cartridge does clip into the Imagewriter II, but the cable that exits the back of the cartridge jams against the case of the Imagewriter and isn't free to move. My guess is that the Thunderscan people will redesign their cartridge so that it can be used on the new printers but I haven't heard any rumors to that affect yet. Jack Wisowaty ihnp4!ihwpt!wiso
