Actually, it's worse than that. Even if the LaserWriter is at the
end of the chain, deactivating its AppleTalk port causes transmission
errors on the rest of the network, completely disabling it. Apparently,
a LaserWriter with a deactivated AppleTalk port is electrically
different from an unplugged AppleTalk connector. What a pain.
