Thanks for the walkthru. Except for removing the Roller Dial(Handle?)
it was spot on. Yes and there it lay; one Appletalk card with 4 large chips,
one of them a Zilog. The screws were quite loose when I went to undo them
and for a moment thought the original owner might have removed it for some
reason. Thank you, I'm quite pleased.
Now what can Appletalk do that's so special. I also have a Laserwriter ll NTX
that will likely become my main printer ,so I guess the IW will stay with the
llci which is a nice little machine and purportedly able to handle my Full Page
Radius display. A nice writers trio.

Something
to check for on the Imagewriter II printers is the localtalk
option board. I just picked up 4 Imagewriter II's and 2 so far have the
boards, which triples the value of the printer.
How can you tell ? I have the 8-pin mini-plug and under a plate on is
a F 10-pin socket of some kind.
Look for appletalk cards in them?
Bring small philips screwdriver.
Lift 2 top covers .... one a narrow back strip .... then the big one
with smoked glass (or plastic)
slide carriage all the way left and remove ribbon
note 2 screws left and right in lower corner of opening
back all way out and lift up front cover whis has wire attached
Look inside on right ... board should have (front to back) 1 1/2 inch
connector or card mounted on it
Thats it... card or no card .... pretty valuable
