   Simple. Part of the Cost for the Apple LaserWriter is the 68000 controller
they've got inside. Since the Next Box uses Display Postscript anyway, it
probably just uses the Box to drive the printer directly.

  If you compare this to Apple's similar printer, the IISC the consortium
price (before the price hike) is about $1700.
