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 alongside the Color StyleWriter 1500 and 2500 in March 1996 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 print adapter, but adapted to bridge Ethernet to an serial port instead of LocalTalk. The adapter can communicate to the printer's serial port at an accelerated speed of 885 Kbps, about 15 times the normal serial speed of 57.6 Kbps, and nearly 4 times the 230.4 Kbps speed of LocalTalk.
