[net.micro.mac] AppleTalk for Z8000 request

yorick@kbsc.UUCP (Yorick Phoenix) (10/07/86)

This is on behalf of a friend who has recently changed job and while his
previous employers allow him to recieve mail and read the news he cannot post.

Please respond by either mailing to him, mailing to me or sending a followup
and I will feed all responses back to him.

Does anyone know of a company called Lutzky-Baird? They have apparently
produced a plug-in board for the Z8000 and application s/w that makes
the Z8000 look like an AppleTalk node to a Mac.  Presumably it can spool
LW output.  Do you know of any similar products?

We have an LW connected to an Altos SysV and also some Macs.  We would
like to spool LW output from the Mac via the Altos system over RS232 lines.
I know about SEAGATE but that's not really applicable in our case.
I've been trying to get hold of Inside AppleTalk and Inside LW without much
success. So, can people who have done or tried this tell me whether the output
from the LW driver can be diverted and if so how (or where to look to find
out).  It must be possible as several sites (Rochester, Michigan...)
appear to have working spoolers (?).  Also someone in Holland whose name
I've now forgotten.  Before we spend time reinventing the wheel, does
anyone have such a product available; the people I work for may be interested
in distributing/marketing such a product for you.

Mail to sakw@uk.ac.sussex.cvaxa will get to me; sorry, but I no longer
have direct access to Usenet or Arpanet as I no longer work at Sussex.

Thanks in advance
