- The DeskWriter works like a champ in both //e, //c, and IIgs world.
- for the 8 bit folks there is an excellent driver in John Links
- SuperPatch program which is available from Quality. In addition,
- Vitesse and Seven Hills both provide 16 bit drivers that allow you
- to use any font.
-
- Other programs i.e., AppleWriter, etc., work well, however, they
- can't take advantage of the proportional printing that John Link
- provides. (Sure hope hope my brain kept the names straight and
- SuperPatch is his an not Mark Munz's. In any case, it is John
- Link's Appleworks classic patcher that is needed.)

-
- If you mean having both parallel and serial, the DeskWriter has
- both.
