Thanks to all the people responding to my query on TOPS 2.0 and System
Software 6.0.

All the persons answered, that they had no problems at all with this
configuration.                          ------------------

One person wrote that there is a problem with TOPSSpool, which is bundled with
TOPS. The version you get with TOPS 2.0 is able to run with LaserWriter 4.0:
>TOPS Spool is another matter entirely.  The release of TOPS Spool
>shipped with TOPS 2.0 works only with the 4.1 (?) release of the
>LaserWriter driver (this is the version released with System 4.2).
>They're about ready to ship (and may be shipping) beta copies of a TOPS
>Spool that works with the 5.0 driver (the one shipped with the
>MultiFinder / 5.0 system software), and are some time away from having
>one that works with 5.1;  they don't even have an estimated data for one
>that would work with the 5.2 driver (the one shipped in the System 6.0
>package).
>We've stopped using TOPS Spool entirely, and are now using the
>MultiFinder-based print spooler.

This comes perhaps with this update version, one person described like that:
>Give TOPS Tech Support a call and ask for the update to TOPS/Macintosh 2.08.
>It's labeled as a "beta," but it was some bug fixes.
