The SLM804 Laser Printer was Tramiel's attempt at a laser-for-the-masses
back when a Laser Printer was a multi-thousand-dollar item. It had no
on-board intelligence or memory; it used the ST's CPU/RAM. Sounds like
what you have there is the controller interface. (Plugs into the ACSI port
on one end and the printer on the other.)

P.S., anyone want an SLM804 in need of some repair?
