Are there any prospects that we will be seeing an Appletalk card for the Sparc, that would allow the Sparcs, Macs and LaserWriters in the same room to talk to each other without the expense of a K-box? (One might also ask: why didn't Sun/TOPS come out with this a year ago?) Jim Bradley, CNR Computer Facility, UC Berkeley

Another solution is to put an ethernet card in a Mac with some router (Liaison or Apple internet router). It is cheaper and works well. You even get a speed up for file transfer for the Mac with the ethernet card. Franck BOISSIERE boissier@irisa.irisa.fr Prototyping Lab Manager boissier@ccettix.UUCP C.C.E.T.T.
