You could add more software, such as laser >spooling software, but that's not absolutely necessary. The LaserWriter IISC does not have a provision for connecting it to an appletalk network, or so I thought. There might be some sort of printing software which one could use to print on a LW IISC connected to another machine... a real hacked-up way would be to use an A/B switch made for SCSI and connect BOTH machines. But then you'd have to do your own bus arbitration. -- Mark Wilkins
