We have had 6 laserwriters upgraded. We have had no problems since
the upgrades. In fact, we used to have spooling problems possibly
related to the XON/XOFF bugs mentioned that have disappeared with the
upgrade. In addition, the performance improvement and the ability to
set the async line from 9600 to 19.2K baud is an additional win.

All we need is a larger input tray and a postscript machine that can
run 24 hours a day and print about 24ppm. Our 3 dovers, print a 100k
pages each during our peak usage month (may).

Oh yea, it was a headache to find that a heathkit retailer down the
road got 5 upgrades when they opened and another large stock of them
a month later BEFORE CMU got the LaserWriter upgrades.  We bought all
our LaserWriters as Pluses....we actually took one laserwriter out
to the dealer and had them upgrade it and were considering doing the
rest that way.
