[comp.sys.atari.st] Async LaserWriter

ggreenbe@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Gerald Greenberg) (03/12/91)

In the Spectre 3.0 manual Dave Small mentions a product called
Async LaserWriter, which allows a Mac to print PostScript
files to a PostScript printer hooked up via the serial port.
Does anyone know who makes it, or how much it costs?
Thanks.

Async LaserWriter is not a specific make of a printer, it is a general type,
like there are matrix and inkjets and so on. Async here means asynchronous.
A good and affordable example here is the laser from OKI. It is small and
quite good in many other ways too.

If you want to use a laser with Spectre and generally with ST, there is 
a vey good HP LaserJet emulation software (an INIT) for using SLM 804
under Spectre. It works perfectly well. This can be purchased from
Fearn & Music, Germany. They sell lots of good Mac & Spetre stuff.
If you want their address and numbers, just leave me a message.
