I have set up several PC's here using the Appleshare PC card. Now the
switch settings on the cards were set on Polled, but this caused a problem
when using Qemm 5.0 to move these drivers into high memory. The solution to
this after many phone calls (over three weeks) was to change the
switch settings on the card to the default settings (ie interrupt driven).
This worked well (I even got Qemm 5.0 and Windows 3.0 to work together)
but when printing to a LaserWriter using something like CA-Cricket Graph 1.3
(for windows 286 and 3.0) and WordPerfect 5.0 (from windows 3.0) that takes a
lot of processing and someone else "prints" to the LaserWriter both jobs abort
and the first PC crashes. Note these machines are 386DX PC's and the
LocalTalk access speeds are much greater than the previous 286
networked machines (but these were polled).
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this without using a Mac as a
spooler. I've tried to get CAP 5.0 lwsrv to work but the postscript file is
sliced up before it is (they are) submitted to the lpd.
Note I have two versions of CAP 5.0 working one based on the May 1988
release with some patches to allow PC usage; and a later May 1988 patched to October 1990 (from rutgers I think) which I could not apply the PC patches. I've
also tried Mark Rawling's (rcomr@koel.co.rmit.oz) fixes to these files.
