also be aware of the "AppleTalk PC Card Reference Guide", whose apple part
number is M2224.  I haven't seen this manual yet, so I can't say if it
will be of any use, and with a name like that it may have even been superceded,
but it is on our current parts list.  We have a copy on order so I may
be able to give you more information later.  Good luck.

On a related note, does anyone have experience changing the extended 
character sets used with the "PC Laserwriter Program" (which is called
"LW" on the PC diskettes)?  I would like to hear from anyone who has
pushed this program, as I am having trouble re-mapping characters and the 
manual seems to be no help.

Thanks
