Now that EtherTalk card are becoming more popular and you can even buy
ethernet scsi plug-in ethernet cards for the Mac+, why hasnt anyone
come out with a Laserwriter that has an ethernet port?  Surely it
would be relatively simple? If the Macs can be configured to use
EtherTalk, why not teh LaserWriters?

Is it that there hasnt been enough demand yet?

We have a couple of EtherTalk only labs at the U of M and we still have
to have FastPaths for the Laserwriters.  Surely adding an ethernet
connection to a laser writer would be cheaper than a FastPath?
