Although I often recommend GDT products, in this case, you may be able to
get the job done for free. Check out the following files at
sumex.stanford.edu:

info-mac/util/dmm-lw-56-stuff-12.hqx       (for LaserWriter 5.x and 6.x)
info-mac/util/dmm-lw-7-stuff-12.hqx        (for LaserWriter 7.x)
info-mac/util/dmm-lw-stuff-122-updater.hqx

This software allows you to easily make a modified LaserWriter driver to
support various features not in the original driver, including a serial
connection at speeds up to 57,600.
