[net.micro.mac] VaxStation II to Mac

co198wat@sdcc13.UUCP (Kevin B Baird{|stu) (04/03/86)

Has anyone out there had any experience in connecting a Microvax
(Vax Station II) to a Mac(Plus)?  Any help would be appreciated.
Let's start with just porting text back and forth.  I think that
will be enough for a while...

Thanks,

I am beta testing GKS and VaxBasic V3.0 for DEC.  It has full graphics interfc
to GKS.

I am writing a Graphic device handler for Mac/Mac+.  It should be done about
the time VaxBasic V3.0 ships (a while!).

Currently it will let you port down graphics to/from Mac from ANY vax as a
Foriegn GRAPHICS workstation....

Note: DEC now SUPPORTS Graphics output to an Apple Laserwriter.  Right down
to SPR/QAR when something does not work on it in GKS!!!!
