Can somebody tell me why I have to rename the LaserWriter-driver
on the System Disk to make it visible to the direct connect CDEV?
As long as it is called "LaserWriter" it is ignored, it has to
be renamed or copied to be availlable. To the powers there are:
The people who own LaserWriters usually connect them via AppleTalk.
But people like me who print to PostScript files need the driver
accessible WITHOUT installing AppleTalk (thus losing a slot).

(You can print to PostScript files by pressing OA F after start
printing to an (even not connected) LaserWriter.)
