Question:

Sean Parent (from Apple) claimed all currently existing print drivers would
fail under 7.0.  This is very reasonable, and I expected this.  My question
is, on an AppleTalk network, with different size Macs (1 Meg vs. 5 Meg),
connected to the same LaserWriters, will they ALL have to upgrade to the
new system 7.0, or will some provision be made for using system 6.xx and
system 7.0 on the same network.

If we can't use different systems (with the different LaserWriter drivers)
effectively, then this cuts me out of system 7.0 (with my Mac II), because
most of the rest of the Macs are 1 Meg with no upgrade plans in the near
future.
