3Com announces EtherMac. EtherMac connects the 3Server network server to
Appletalk for Macintosh use, and provides:
* Volume Service -- volumes can be private (1 reader/writer), public (many
readers, 1 writer), or shared (many readers & writers). You can access
volumes on any 3Server on the Ethernet backbone network. With the optional
3Server tape backup unit, MS-DOS and Macintosh volumes may be easily backed
up to tape.
* LaserWriter Print Spooling -- dramatically decreases the time spent waiting
for jobs to print. Print jobs are spooled to the 3Server hard disk and
printed in the order received. The Macintosh is thus freed up to continue
with useful work, rather than waiting for its turn at the printer.
* Integration with 3Com's EtherSeries for the IBM PC -- A utility is supplied
that allows Macintoshes to link to MS-DOS format volumes (anywhere on the
Ethernet) and transfer data back and forth. MS-DOS machines can print on
3Server-attached LaserWriters.
