One of our research groups would like to use one Apple LaserWriter
from 2 MAC SE's and one IBM-PCXT. They would like to use TOPS.
What is needed at a mimimum to do this? All we want to do is print.
No shared file systems or print spooling.

How does the PC TOPS Flash Card compare to a PC/Appletalk card?

What is NETPRINT? Do you really have to have this to get at the
printer?

Can MS-Word and a fully configured TOPS network node reside in 640K?


Thanks.
