Help me connect an old Apple Personal LaserWriter

[rdowns]

I have an old Apple Personal LaserWriter that I would like to use again.

I would like to connect it through an Ethernet Broadband Router that I use to drive my Mac and PC laptop. Is this possible?

Tha LW has the old AppleTalk connector.

BTW, the hardware you will need is from Farallon, it's called "EtherMac iPrint Adapter". It's 2 small devices which converts your ethernet cable to Appletalk connector. It works fine under os 9.2.2 and below, onlything is I can't get a driver that supports postscript 1 in os X.

I have my personal laserwriter NT running again. 10.2.8 does have the driver in the printmanager app. Earlier versions of os X didn't support it. Just to let you know!

I ordered the Farallon product today. I'm running Panther but will give this a shot.

The Farallon EtherMac Iprint Adapter (model PN 559) converts the networkcable to a modemcable/telephone line and that you will have to insert in a small gray box (doesn't have anything on it, no text, no manufacturer or model number). One end has two "modem" sockets, the other end has a small cable with an Appletalk connector on it. Make sure you have the small gray box, else it's useless! I saw on ebay that people are selling them, but without the gray box. In the original package the gray box is included! Setup is very easy. Goodluck!
