[comp.sys.mac] LWII to MacII connection?

norman@a.cs.okstate.edu (Norman Graham) (07/05/89)

I seem to recall someone saying that a Macintosh can be connected
to a dedicated LaserWriter by a single printer cable. Is this true?

Apple's catalog says "To operate a LaserWriter IINT ... with a ...,
MacIIcx, ... order 2-[LocalTalk Locking Connector Kit-din8]." This
is a rather expensive way to set up a two-node network. So, can
a two-node AppleTalk network be set up with one printer (din8) cable?
