LaserWriter IIf and IIg: PC Connection



Given the lack of a Centronics interface, how can I connect a LaserWriter
IIf or IIg to an MS-DOS PC?

For this class of product, Ethernet and SCSI interfaces are more important
than Centronics. Centronics was omitted due to space constraints.

Here are two ways for PCs to connect to the printer:

- The LaserWriter IIf and IIg support fast serial communication (up to 57K
baud) for direct connection.

- LocalTalk cards from third parties enable PCs to share a LaserWriter.
