[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Seikosha SP2000 substitute for ImageWriter II?

mlee@waters.mpr.ca (Michael Lee) (03/20/90)

Hello everyone!
 
	I've been reading c.s.m.hardware for the past two months now, and have 
seen a few postings about the Seikosha SP1000a printer which simulates an 
ImageWriter I and uses the same print driver (though it prints much slower).  
I've been waiting for a new ImageWriter II replacement so that ImageWriter II's 
would drop in price, but Apple apparently plans to only substitute a revamped 
ImageWriter II/L as existing IW II stock is sold.

	What I have seen lately is another Seikosha model called the
SP2000 that advertises approximately the the same speed as the IW II, for 
about $300 CDN.  Has anyone ever connected or heard of connecting this model
to a Mac?  If so, does it use the IW II print driver?  

	If you have any information, please email me directly, and I'll
post a note afterwards (to keep traffic down).  Thanks in advance!
