We have two, as a partial appeasement from QMS for the travesty that
the 1200A that we *bought* is. I believe that we've been promised a
2400A in some sort of exchange when the 2400A becomes available.

The PS-800 seems to be identical to a LaserWriter, except that it
doesn't have such a fancy test banner page. Nobody here has tried
hooking it to a Mac, but it looks like it is complete with AppleTalk
connections. 

I've only been a user, not a programmer, so there may be some warts
that are different, but it seems to work just fine. No faster, no
slower, as far as I can tell.
