I am receiving from a donor a PC/XT and an Apple laser printer.
For some years I have been using Unix on a terminal, planning to
buy an AT. 1. Can the XT be upgraded to an AT using one of the 
advertized coprocessor boards? How compatible with AT would it
be? I would also add a faster larger hard disk. I would like to
stay with Unix/Xenix? Would it run with such an upgrade? 
2. I have been told I can drive the Apple laser writer from
Microsoft Word which incorporates Postscript? Has anyone done
this from a PC? Can it be run from troff under Unix? I would be
grateful to have advice from anyone with experience with the
upgrade or with the Apple laser writer. I should receive the
stuff in a couple of weeks.
