 TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

 I want to connect Macintosh, Apple IIe, and IBM PC, so they can share a
 LaserWriter IINT.   Can this be done?   (No file sharing is required.)

 DISCUSSION -------------------------------------------------------

 The AppleTalk LaserWriters were designed to be shared.

 * Any Macintosh has AppleTalk built in.

 * An Apple II needs the Apple II Workstation card and software to enable
  access to a networked printer.

 * An IBM PC needs a LocalTalk PC Card and AppleShare PC to get onto the
  LocalTalk network to communicate with the LaserWriter.
