Yes, you can use it with OSX. What you need is a LocalTalk to
Ethernet Bridge, such as the AsanteTalk, some local talk cabling and
2 local talk converter boxes. I have all that I used to use with my
Apple LaserWriter Select 360. The school system where I donated that
printer still uses it. A real workhorse. If you would be interested
in that stuff, let me know and I'll work up a price.

John,
Thanks for the really quick response. It is an NTR with 36-pin
Centronics-type port, a 25-pin serial port (RS-232) and a LocalTalk
port (DIN-8, RS-422 compatible). I just copied this stuff from the
manual. Remember when all computers etc came with complete manuals?

It depends on which Personal LaserWriter you have there were, by my
count, 6 different models, with a variety of connection ports,
including SCSI, LocalTalk, Serial and Centronics.
Cheers,
John
