   I picked up an ImageWriter II for cheap, it was the only one where the auction photos didn't have the error lamp on.

   Alas, the belt drive motor is rusted and completely seized. Looks like replacements are also not at all worth it.

   It's a shame, this is the only spot in the whole machine with evidence of rust, the rest looks fine!

     @kalleboo Very cool!

     FYI, looks like the Printing folder under Essential is locked down.

     There may or may not be a another ImageWriter II on #GlobalTalk now 🙈

     In lieu of an ImageScribbler card, it's shared via PortShare Pro (thanks Wafflenet) as a shared Printer Port. Download and install PortShare from Blackbird:Essential, New>Virtual Printer, then find the printer on BaroNet, password empty, then use the regular serial ImageWriter or MacPalette driver to print.
