But the letter stands for "Macintosh" for some dimly : considered reason. I think the reason is that the 5MP has a localtalk connector and the 5P doesn't. So the 5MP is much easier to connect to a Mac than the 5P. So, the 5MP is both Mac and postscript, but also works with a PC. Anyone confused. Richard.
