A friend of mine has a Mac II, IBM 386 compatible,
and a SPARCstation 2 that he wants to connect up
to an Apple Laserwriter IINTX.  He wants to do it
within a reasonable price range (less than $500).

What we finally decided to do is to use a plain switch 
box, however distasteful that may seem, to 
connect the three machines to the printer. The
Mac and the IBM are relatively easy to connect up
compared to the SPARC. 

We have been told that we will need a postscript
translation program (Trascript was suggested) and
a serial cable.

Does anyone out there have experience connecting 
similar machines to the Laserwriter IINTX?  Or even 
any experience connecting just a SPARC?  Are there
any software solutions which won't require a 
switch box buy yet be relatively cheap?  We would
appreciate hints, suggestions, or comments.
Thanx a whole bunch in advance.  8-)
