I used to support COMBOARD users from my basement seven or eight years ago.
It was easier to move down there than the 11/750.

Apparently. I think I have a lead on a cable (for more than the whole
computer cost, but that's the way these things usually work).

It is; that's why I got it (and paid $1100 for it, brand-new). I wasn't
going to get a laser printer until I could afford PostScript. I just checked
tonight - 4700 pages so far. I just put _that_ one on an HP JetDirect
print server I picked up at a tent sale for $10. Works great.
The DeskWriter 660c is a LocalTalk-only device, thus the need for a Mac.
