LaserWriter II: Intelligent Controller Box


Is there an intelligent controller box for a LaserWriter II that allows
both AppleTalk and serial communications without resetting the printer?

BridgePort, from Extended Systems, allows input from RS-232, parallel, and
LocalTalk sources. Unfortunately, BridgePort only outputs via parallel or
RS-232. This works with a LaserWriter, but does not take advantage of the
LocalTalk port. You can use it with non-Apple PostScript printers that
don't have a LocalTalk interface.

To locate a vendor's address and phone numbers, use vendor name as a search
string.
