What do y'all think of the idea of building a postscript emulator for
the IISC?  Imagine the following system:

	Mac II
	5 or 8 MB of RAM
	Laser IISC

Since the IISC connects to the Mac via SCSI, it would seem practical to
build the postscript processor on the Mac, downloading bitmaps to the
printer.  Since the retail price differential between the IISC and IINT
is $2000, there would seem to be a pretty tasty niche for a software-only
product.

I suspect that the configuration above would be faster than an NT, and would
only lack networking.
