I currently own a Mac-II and am thinking of buying a NeXTStation along 
with a NeXT laser printer. 

I would like to be able to use the NeXT laser printer to print Mac stuff
also. (Both the machines will be sitting in the same room side-by-side.)

Some one suggested me that I should get a ethernet card for my Mac, 
connect the two machines, and use the NeXT machine as the print server
for the Mac.

Has some one out there tried this and if yes, how much does this cost?
Are there any other options?

Also, are there tape back-up units that works with both Mac-II as well 
as the NeXTStation?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
