RE: apple laserwriter on pc???
R-> I'd like to know whether it is possible to print from a PS-2 (or
R-> similar IBM compatible machine) to an Apple Laserwriter....
R-> I've seen it done via a TOPS network, but I'm wondering if it
R-> could be done more directly.
R-> Thanks

I've set an old Laserwriter to run from the COM port of PCs (ZEOS, Compaq and PC XT). All I had to do was connect the cable, set the com port using MODE, and make sure the Laserwriter was set for the right baud rate. No sweat, as far as I could tell. Unless the PS/2 has a weird comm port...
