- FTP to sumex.stanford.edu and get:
-
- info-mac/util/dmm-lw-56-stuff-131.hqx (for LaserWriter 5.x or 6.x)
- info-mac/util/dmm-lw-7-stuff-131.hqx (for LaserWriter 7.x)
-
- This is excellent (and free) software that provides Installer scripts to
- modify the LaserWriter drivers to include many enhancements, including
- serial communication support via the printer port or modem port.
-
- Note, on my Mac (IIci, System 7.1) I had to put the package on my boot
- drive (rather than my external drive) to get the serial support installer
- script to work. Your mileage may vary, but any quirks you run into are
- almost certainly the fault of Apple's Installer program (it's too picky
- and tempermental).
