There was an add for a StyleWriter ll on the local FreeCycle. I emailed and we made arrangements to meet. I mentioned in the email that I was interested in old Mac stuff. Was I surprized when the trunk opened up and there was some old Mac Stuff! Along with the StyleWriter ll was a Mac Plus with Kensington System Saver on top and a Rodine Plus 20 external hardrive on the bottom!! Keyboard, with a non-working mouse. It looks very different than a regular plus and starts up differently! You flip the switch on the on top of the Kensington System Saver. The Hardrive starts up and lights are flashing (two on the bottom and one on top) It has 4mb of ram and is running O.S. 6.0.8. The fan pushes lots of air through the plus to keep it cool . It makes about the same amount of noise as my Classic 2. (The Stylewriter works too!)

Didn't the System Saver pull air from the Mac? Also, correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the left-most switch(gets pushed in/out, can't remember the exact name of the type) control the power going to the Mac(you leave it's power switch on) while the rightmost switch on the System Saver controlled power to the two extra 3 pin(north american system savers) electrical sockets?
You are right about the fan pulling air through the Mac. On this model of Kensington System Saver there is only one switch. The Mac Plus is plugged in the System Savers plug in as is the external hardrive. The system saver has a nice long cable to plug into the wall plug in. Leaving the Mac Plus power switch on all the time, allows you to use the front mounted Kensington power button to start both the Mac Plus and the external hardrive together. When I get some time I might drop a newer hardrive into the Rodime Plus 20 external hardrive case.
