Message-ID: Date: 27 Nov 90 17:56:48 GMT Sender: news@sol.UVic.CA Distribution: comp Organization: University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada Lines: 25 Nntp-Posting-Host: pollux.uvic.ca Forgive me if I made the wrong choice of groups, but I thought the audience might be correct. I also suppose "there was just a discussion of this last week" - it always happens, doesn't it :-). I follow the Appletalk group, but not the IBM groups ... sorry. I am looking for opinions on how to get an IBM PC to print on an Apple Laserwriter Plus on Localtalk. A person here has proposed obtaining a TOPS Flashcard for the PC and TOPS for DOS software. I am not familiar enough with the DOS environment to judge the merits of this suggestion. I hope someone on the net can tell me their experiences. How widely useable would TOPS for DOS printing capabilities be across popular word processing programs? So... please let me know your opinions on TOPS for DOS. How would you set up a PC so it could use an Apple Laserwriter on Localtalk? Also, would the same apply for a PS/2? Thanks, Mark J.
