We are going to be needing that ethernet port so I am trying to
figure out the cheapest way to hook up that printer/or getting a new
printer ....
is there some kind of gadget/converter for the old serial port to use
usb????
thanks! Laura
AFAIK, the USB -> serial adapters cannot do AppleTalk, which most
LaserWriter printers require. Best thing to do would be to get an
ethernet
hub and connect everything to the hub. That way, more than one
machine can
use the LaserWriter. That is how I have my LaserWriter IIg, my
9600, B&W
G3, and SE/30 networked.
