I have hung a 44k Syquest on the rear end of my 16/600 LaserWriter and
formatted it using the Apple Utility. It is recognised as being present by
the software but if I try to download fonts I get a 'PostScript error,
restart printer' message. There also appears to be no mechanism for
diverting downloaded PS dictionaries which all promptly disappear into ROM
instead. I have tried it with and without terminator and the SCSI number
is 4.
Has anyone had any success doing this?
I would appreciate any advice.
