I can say, with certainty, that it was not made by MacEffects.
Thanks. Does it look like the original one? Is it original in your opinion?

Hi, what do you think about this bezel I can say, with certainty, that it was not made by MacEffects. |

The yellow stripe cables came; I ordered two of them. I tried one cable and was getting a diskette controller error (I/O board, error 57). I tried the other and it worked just fine. So there... It works!
Thank you all for the assistance! |

Interestingly, MacEffects is once again selling one of their reproduction bezels on eBay. This time, it's not attached to a Lisa chassis
 Gallery for future reference: https://imgur.com/a/wopV0Ry Notably, this reproduction also features the exact same marring in the border around their reproduction Lisa badge as the other example in their previous auction. I've circled a couple of the telltale marks below. These imperfections must have been present on the original bezel that they used to make the mold, and all copies likely feature them. Drive numbers are also printed in a thicker, bolder font, and so on. These won't fool anyone who knows what to look for.  |

Just found out LisaMandelbrot exists. Maybe this should be added to the list!

The original Apple LaserWriter did offer ImageWriter emulation, when connected via it's serial port, and later Apple shipped a Postscript based ImageWriter emulator for localtalk connected LaserWriters with GS-OS for the Apple IIgs. I don't have a LaserWriter now, but back in the 1980's I did use the LaserWriter emulation mode and it worked, but I realize it was the built-in Diablo 630 emulation and not a ImageWriter emulation. AFAIK, the PS ImageWriter download that was included with GSOS only worked over LocalTalk, and would not be much help for LOS.. Rick |

older versions of the LOS that may only support par-port printers. LOS 1.0 will work with an ImageWriter over serial, FWIW. Maybe there are developmental versions that don't? (I've never seen a pre-1.0 version of LOS.) |

Have you gotten this to work? I've tried a few times with my LaseWriter, and while the emulation loads it does not actually print ImageWriter data. -J |

I have ordered one of the NewPrint devices and once I receive it, I will test it out.
Like James had pointed out, this may work as a "modern" output solution for older versions of the LOS that may only support par-port printers. While the NewPrint will not work with Macintosh serial ports, it should work with MacWorks on Lisa, as there is a utility to add a par-port driver to MacWorks (called "Parallel Port Install"). Rick |
