StyleWriter EtherTalk Adapter

The StyleWriter EtherTalk Adapter is a network device manufactured by Farallon and marketed by Apple Computer for StyleWriter inkjet printers without LocalTalk networking support. It was announced on March 14, 1996 alongside the Color StyleWriter 1500 and 2500 and released in the following month.

Description
The adapter allows supported StyleWriter models to be bridged to an EtherTalk network ( and ) without the need for a host computer. It is based on Farallon's EtherMac iPrint Adapter SL, configured to bridge Ethernet to a serial port instead of LocalTalk.
