I believe that the only such product is a board from 'The Laser Connection',
a subsidiary of QMS. Try them at 1-800-523-2696. That's probably not the right
number, but they can tell you where to call.

The 'JetScript' is a replacement (add-on?) controller board for LaserJets that
has a complete Postscript interpreter. A LaserJet with the JetScript should be
100% compatible with the LaserWriter Plus, PS V.47, including all hardware
(like ports).

I think it comes with 2 MB of RAM. This is 1/2 MB more than the LW+.

I have no personal experience with this product, so I can't praise it or flame
it. I do know that QMS turns out some pretty nice stuff usually.
