It includes: - 4x oversize Bitstream workalikes of Courier, Helvetica and Times for high quality printing. - background spooling software (works under both Finder and MultiFinder). - Mac mini-DIN printer-port to 25-pin RS-232 cable. I'm selling mine because I recently replaced my SE with a IIcx and bought Grappler LX to replace the LS package. The manufacturer says that the Classic/Plus/SE are CPU-limited and do not benefit from the LX, while the II series can drive the printer faster with the LX. The best mail-order price I've seen recently for Grappler LS is $69 (I think list is $129). If you're interested, make an offer by email. -- Mike Khaw ParcPlace Systems, Inc., 1550 Plymouth St., Mountain View, CA 94043 Domain=khaw@parcplace.com, UUCP=...!{uunet,sun,decwrl}!parcplace!khaw
