Now that the ST has a Postscript emulator, what about a box to connect
it to Appletalk?  The Mega ST and laser printer make a decent postscript
device, but they have to be fed through the parallel or serial port.
This cannot really compete with other printers that can be connected 
directly to Appletalk.

Appletalk is a standard, and there are plenty of installations.  The 
cabling for it is dirt cheap.  Appletalk connectivity for the ST would
make the system a lot more attractive to business.
