Is anyone out there familiar with the Apple Personal Laserwriter NT? I have tried calling Apple Canada last week to get the spec sheets that I need, however, I was informed that Apple no longer supplies these documents. The required procedure is to go to your local dealer, and obtain them there. Unfortunately, my local dealer didn't have any spec sheets. So instead, I asked questions, such as the engine type, and what type of RAM it uses, etc. Later, while leafing through some old magazines, I found some conflicting information, and since Apple Canada seems to be closed for the week, I thought I'd see if I could get some clarifications here. First, what type of engine does it use? So far, I've gotton three different answers, a Canon P110, a Canon LX (most popular answer), and some "other" engine. Secondly, RAM. Does it use "normal" SIMMs (as in the Mac Plus/SE/etc), or does it require special memory, as is used in the IIfx and LaserWriter IIntx? The printer appears to have a maximum RAM capacity of 8M, and comes standard with 2M. Would anyone out there happen to know how many SIMM slots are available? With a max of 8M, does that mean there is one bank of 2 (4M SIMMs)? I'd appreciate it if anyone could offer any information (including opinions on how whether or not it's worth purchasing).
