Re: Apple LaserWriter ever work with the Apple Lisa?

I don't think it will work either. The LW has Xerox Diablo 630 emulation, but I think this is going to be different than the Qume / Daisy Wheel Printer protocol. It would be easy enough to check if you have both devices.... which I do, but my LW is broken with some sort of fault on the formatter board.

In a basic way it would work by copying and pasting text into LisaTermina.
