A collegue on campus wants to hook up both a Macintosh and an IBM PS/2 Model 60 to a LaserWriter IINT. Since the LocalTalk PC Card doesn't work inside the Model 60, he'd like to hook them both up via serial cables and a switch box. Is this possible? I've heard that a Mac can talk to a LaserWriter using just an ordinary serial cable (instead of the usual LocalTalk boxes). But is the regular LaserWriter driver still able to talk to the printer that way? And what are the implications on the IBM side? Please respond via email. Thanks.
