[comp.sys.atari.st] Make laser printing faster

There has been a lot of talk about SLM 804 and other laserprinters. SLM wins 
due to DMA-to-SLM - connection (in speed). Is it possible to make other lasers
faster by making a DMA-to-'whatever fast slot there is' - connection. Atari's
centronics is supposed to stop at 19.2 Kb, but how fast can Laserjet's 
centronics do ? There are other slots in lasers too, don't know if they are 
any use. Maybe somebody with more technical knowledge could tell if it is
possible.

By the way, I read in 1/90 ST Magazin that a group of developers from 
Stuttgart are making a Appletalk-emulator (due out 1st Quarter -90). As a 
bonus it should include full Mac-sound (sound comes through your own 
hifi-equipment). You may try to get more information at

(at least they advertise : 'Demn{chst: AppleTalk hardware Emulation').

PS. Thanks to all who responded to my questions concerning  GCC, I finally 
got it. I couldn't get my thanks through (our sun has been a bit hazy last
couple of months)
