Now a fresh question. Why does it say the LCII (Performa 405) cannot have

one in the PDS slot (68882)? Also, the LC doesn't have one listed as an

Not Will, but there's a link in the FAQ for the Sad Mac codes on early
Macs. I haven't seen a reference for anything after the Classic, but I
think most of the basic ones are the same.

Ever wondered about the difference between a modern high end HP or
Xante postscript laserprinter and a 10 year old Laserwriter IINT?
Well, the first two print faster and have an ethernet card, but the
outcome pretty much look like the same to me...
Plus, the LWII looks a lot better than those
Yes, the IIg does autoswitching. It's got a SCSI port to add a HD for font
storage. AFAIK, you have to tell it whether the serial port is for LocalTalk
or direct serial. It can emulate an HP LaserWriter for printing from a
Windows box.

There are ways around this, but not for the faint of heart. Through Linux,
you can set-up AppleTalk printer sharing as well as a PostScript interperter
called GhostScript, in essence making any printer supported by GhostScript
look like an Apple LaserWriter on the network. It will even support

If you have another Mac laying around (besides the iMac and Plus) you could
just run Localtalk Bridge on it. A friend of mine who owns a bookstore does
this. They have an LC475 quietly hidden away under a desk, handling print
jobs headlessly.
Why should I do that? If I get myself a IIg board

Prly right, though I've never actually tried to format a HD
I've done it, it's really very simple. It's not picky about Apple ROMs like
HD SC setup is. You go into the HD tab, it scans the SCSI IDs for HDs, you
pick one and format it. Then, you just select the fonts you want to copy
over and click the transfer button. Yet another thing Apple made work
