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. ============================================================================= Thomas Lenggenhager, Computer Science Dept., ETH-Zurich, Switzerland CSNET: lengge%ifi.ethz.ch@relay.cs.net UUCP: ..!mcvax!cernvax!ethz!lengge RARE: lengge@ifi.ethz.ch
