Monroe Williams (monroe@teleport.com) created the driver for the
StyleWriter I by watching closely the data passing the serial port.
And there is lots of funny communication happening there...

I am using a "prerelease" version with only minor modifications (A4-paper),
which should not be passed on, but if you asked him yourself, he might
be able to help you there.

Some time ago I was trying to get information on the specific format
of data sent to StyleWriter printers, but, hey it's from Apple, so nobody
outside knows something for sure ...

BTW, if I hooked up a NEC P7 dot matrix printer to the serial port,
are there any special requirements for using this dinosaur or is
it just a matter of 'cat'ing the files to /dev/tty01?
