How can you get 10.3 that is xpostfacto'ed on to a Beige G3 to recognize the serial ports? We want to use the old LaserWriter, and therefore run AppleTalk over the serial port instead of ethernet.
There must be some shareware or similar that can do this? As 10.2 WAS supported for the Beige, would it work there?
No. Two problems here:
First, OS X flat out doesn't support the serial port for anything but modems,
Second, OS X doesn't support the original LaserWriter or LaserWriter Plus...both have Postscript V1, and OS X needs PS v2 or better.
I've been around and around on it , as I wanted to get my old one running. I got the system to see the printer via an old localtalk-ethernet bridge, but every attempt at printing resulted in PS errors.
