Hiya,

     To drive a laser from an apollo you have at least two 
alternatives :

1) CAP / KIP + Kinetics Box

     The Columbia Appletalk Package plus a KIP kinetics box driver will
allow you to talk to appletalk from an ethernet (possible other networks).
The software is free !  The box is not.  All the reports I have heard are
good.  It also allows file sharing.  If you are interested, let me know
and I can mail you information.

2) Ushare

     IPT has a board that goes into your apollo and hooks into Appletalk.
When it works it works, when it does not, it fails BIG.  It only works
with SR9.7, and when asked about SR10, they said 'When the release is
stable, we will start work.'  When that means, I am not sure.
