[comp.sys.ibm.pc] IBM PS/2 - Apple LocalTalk adapter

seeleman@dccs.upenn.edu (Todd Seeleman) (10/11/88)

	Greetings,

	     I have located a company that sells an adapter card that
	plugs into an IBM PS/2 (Models 50,60,70) and allows it to
	print on an Apple Laser printer using the LocalTalk network.

	The company is:		Daystar
				556 Atlanta Highway
				Flowery Branch, GA  30542

				404-967-2077

	     Please send any comments you have regarding the company or 
	the product or any other companies with similar products to me
	via e-mail.  Thanks.

		I am not associated with Daystar or any other hardware company.

We just received two of their boards and have them working in model 80s.
The stuff looks very good.  The manual is easy to understand and well
written, better than their competitor's manual.  We were very pleased.  
They are the only company I know of that makes the board for MCA bus
machines.  This is the Tangent Technologies board (Tangent went out of
business.)  We are running their printer driver stuff and TOPS file serving 
on the board as well.  We have not tried their AFP sharing software.

My only problem now is to get TOPS file serving software working at the
same time Microsoft Windows/386 is running.  I am having problems with
this--rather unstable after fighting to get it working at all.  If anyone
can help me out with that environment I'd appreciate it!
