    Does anyone know a way for a Sun (3/160c) and a Mac to share
    an Apple LaserWriter?

    I assume one way would be to put the Sun on AppleTalk.  Any information 
    on vendors, prices, availability (vaporware vs.  beta release vs. 
    actual product), etc. of Sun-to-AppleTalk adapters would be appreciated.
    (Since we might get a Masscomp (68020-series) instead, I'd be curious to
    know if the above would work with it, as well.)
There is a box from Kinetics (look in any MacUser or MacWorld - especially this
months issue) that puts the Mac on Ethernet. This might be the best approach.
    The alternative seems to be ship the PostScript from the Mac (using Cmd-F) 
    to the Sun and then let the Sun worry about transfering it.
