A colleague was adamant that the Apple LaserWriter worked with the Apple Lisa; my counter
was I thought he was likely confusing his memory with the Mac XL which via Macworks and
LocalTalk could use the LaserWriter drivers to print although more slowly due to the 3MHz
speed difference (Mac XL at 5MHz, Macintosh Plus at 8Mhz).
I found some evidence in InfoWorld that states that the LaserWriter would not be supported
on Lisa Office System 7/7.

Anyone know different? would Lisa 7/7 been unable to support the LaserWriter due to other
software limitations?
