I am using both a Mac and an IBM AT with my LaserWriter IINTX, and the
only way to use both (without making the AT support LocalTalk) is to
switch dip switch #2 back and forth, up for LocalTalk and down for RS-
232.  The manual mentions (on page 125, I believe) that these switches
can be set by "downloading a PostScript program".  I take that to mean
that PostScript can set the switches.  The manual does not, however,
mention *how* to do this.

Anyone have any suggestions?
