I've been thinking about getting a USB to serial adapter too, to connect my iMac to my Laserwriter 4/600 PS, but just today started leaning more towards an Ethernet to Localtalk (serial) adapter instead. Here's why: 1) I already have a ton of USB stuff dangling from my iMac as it is, and it seems the more I plug in, the more problems I have. 2) I already have a small network (iMac and Quadra sharing the LaserWriter and cable internet) and so if I used the USB device, and wanted to print from the Quadra, I'd have to walk to the iMac, turn it on, and wait for it to boot before I could print. With the ethernet to localtalk box, I could print from any computer on the network, without worrying about what other computers are turned on at the moment. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
