- I would like to talk to my LaserWriter at a faster rate than
- 19.2Kb. I know my (Fusion-Forty retrofitted 2000)
- computer will go faster than that and that my (NTX)
- printer will. How fast can I get the UART or whatever to go?
-
- And then, are there terminal programs that will let me go
- that fast as well? I mainly use my printer via a terminal
- program now (interactive and ASCII file transfers) and
- would be happy to stay that way. (I'm a PostScript
- programmer.)
-
- (No the printer doesn't have a parallel port.)
-
- Barring that, how bad is adding another (or several more)
- serial port(s). What are the user and programmer level
- ramifications?
