[NTLK] NewtonTalk Digest, Vol 49, Issue 12

[Benjamin Madore]

It's possible to upgrade the "motherboard" to a IIF or IIG board, which I believe has a new enough version of PostScript to work with OS X and has an ethernet port.

That's an easy way to justify putting an old LaserWriter back on the table for your Newton.
