I have recently obtained an old Apple LaserWriter.  I remember that
some time ago there was some info on the info-iris net that gave
some advice on hooking the LaserWriter to the Iris machines.  Also,
there was discussion on using 4Dgifts to 'capture' images from the
screen and putting those in black & White on a LaserWriter.

Could anyone offer me some starting advice on hooking up the LaserWriter
to an IRIS 4D70GT via an RS232 port (eg. cable wiring, inittab mods, etc.).

Also, I would appreciate any advice on using 4Dgifts to dump an image to
the LaserWriter

Thanks in advance...
