I am seriously considering buying a LaserWriter II SC.  There is a tremendous
price difference between that and the postscript LW II NT.  For fonts where
you have a bitmapped font 4 times the print size, the quality is very good.
The problem is with postscript graphics.  Is there a program (a printer
driver, perhaps) that will take a postscript file and generate a 300 dpi
bitmap that can be sent to the II SC?  I don't know about legal issues with
Adobe's postcript language, but, I can't see why the Mac can't handle the
processing.
