You need the 4216/A Personal Pageprinter adapter, which is where the
PostScript interpreter code gets downloaded. Also, you need the "PostScript
Interpreter RT PC Edition" p/n 06F2410, a 3 diskette package done for IBM
by Adobe Systems. On the 4216/A, be careful -- it comes in both AT/RT bus
versions and microchannel versions. After you get all done, it ends up
being a lot more expensive than just buying a laser printer with the
PostScript built in, and takes up a fair amount of disk space on the RT.
