Does anyone know a way for a Sun (3/160c) and a Mac to share
an Apple LaserWriter?

I assume one way would be to put the Sun on AppleTalk.  Any information 
on vendors, prices, availability (vaporware vs.  beta release vs. 
actual product), etc. of Sun-to-AppleTalk adapters would be appreciated.
(Since we might get a Masscomp (68020-series) instead, I'd be curious to
know if the above would work with it, as well.)

The alternative seems to be ship the PostScript from the Mac (using Cmd-F) 
to the Sun and then let the Sun worry about transfering it.
