Subject: Mac haul and print server questions
I used to support COMBOARD users from my basement seven or eight years ago.
It was easier to move down there than the 11/750.
...AUI cables, including a DEC-branded one
(perfect for my VAX8200)
Darn, all I could fit in my basement are the system boards of an 8600. Now I
just need a case... > surprise in the lot was inside one of the LC IIIs
- an Apple IIe card...
Actually I think it's one of those multipurpose
breakout cables like the DOS
cards had. It provided Apple II Joysticks, disk drive, and I think serial
connections.
Apparently. I think I have a lead on a cable (for more than the whole
computer cost, but that's the way these things usually work).

let me share the printer...
There was an old LPR daemon for MacOS, check the
hyperarchive, that's where
I found it a few years ago.
LPR will help somewhat, I suppose.
The LaserJet 4ML will definatly work as it's
postscript if I'm not mistaken.
Just about anything can print to it.
It is; that's why I got it (and paid $1100 for it, brand-new). I wasn't
going to get a laser printer until I could afford PostScript. I just checked
tonight - 4700 pages so far. I just put _that_ one on an HP JetDirect
print server I picked up at a tent sale for $10. Works great.
The DeskWriter 660c is a LocalTalk-only device, thus the need for a Mac.
The big Windows->Mac network app used to be called
COPStalk, I think it
became PC<->MacLan. It lets you mount appleshare volumes and print to mac
shared printers.
Connectix makes an appy called DoubleTalk, which is very similar to
DAVE, lets you mount windows shares and share your hard drive and printer on
a windows SMB-based network.
Freeware? Commercial?
