We're adding a Sun Sparcstation 2 to this lab. I have three questions: 1. How do we use the appletalk connected LaserWriter for the Sun? 2. How can we use the TECH N50 tape drive for Unix backup? 3. Can we use the Sun as a MAC file server? Please reply by mail and I'll post a summary if people are interested. najem@cs.uiuc.edu 1514 Beckman Institute Knowledge-Based Systems Group 405 North Mathews Avenue Department of Computer Science Urbana, IL 61801 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign U.S.A.
