We got our Postscript Cartridge over a month ago, and just got the
AppleTalk Kit last week.  It comes with software that installs chooser
drivers for the Laserjet III.
Everything works except for Pagemaker, which lacks the APD for the III.
The graphics printed from the Series III is much darker and the text also
looks alot better.
Installing the Appletalk board is very simple, and the menu setup was
also very easy to do.

The whole setup seems to work very well though slower then our NTX.
