Laserwriter IINT Serial port too slow
Is there someway to speed up the com port download of the laserwriter IINT? 9600 bd is apple spec, but is this an absolute number? Can u drive the com port higher? Laserwriters are great for macs because of localtalk, but the 9600 bd com port makes it a dog.
ASKER
Laserwriter IINT does not have ethertalk nor appletalk. it only has serial and rs422 localtalk. So is there something out there that converts localtalk to parallell centronics or perhaps rs422 to rs232 converter?

The only possibility is to find if somebody has a device (like an INTEL NETPORT) that will utilize an ethernet connection from the computer and have an Appletalk connection for the printer. Or "parallel -> appletalk" communication. Good Luck....
