Just thought I'd point this out to those connecting a LaserWriter NT
(or NTX) to a single Mac.  Although the instructions don't make this
distinction when telling you to connect 2 LocalTalk cables for $100
(or 2 PhoneNet cables for $75), if you are only connecting the LW to
one Mac, you can use the direct (ImageWriter II) cable instead.  This
isn't official, but I've tried and it works, unless someone knows of
another reason to use the LocalTalk cables.
