        Roger:

        There are several ways to hook up your LocalTalk printer. Depending on how
your LAN is set up, and how many Macs and PC's you have will determine the
best way.

        1) If you have Macs, and only use NT for a server/spooler, print directly
to the LW360 by "hanging" the printer off of a Mac and use the LaserWriter
Bridge Control Panel. Don't try this trick on a Mac running anything lower
than System 7.5.5, due to the "sticky cursor" syndrome;

        2) Or, you can use a hardware Ethernet -> LocalTalk bridge. But again, this
is limited to using the printer with Macs;

        3) Use a dual connection to the LW360 with hot port switching: The Macs
will directly print to the LW360 into the LocalTalk port (preferably
connected to the ethernet LAN with either methods 1 or 2, above); and the NT
spooler would connect via the parallel port, handling spooled print jobs
from the PC's and *spooled jobs* from the Macs.

        Lastly, make sure you change the 4 MB 72 pin SIMM in the LW360 to a 16 MB
SIMM. The SIMM can only be 4 or 16 MB (single-sided), and must be 2k row
refresh Fast Page Mode, 70 nSec or faster (preferably 60 nSec). I haven't
tried EDO in an LW360, though: It probably should work, but I can't
guarantee it.

                Yours truly,
                Dan Schwartz
