LaserWriter IISC

Overview

The LaserWriter IISC was a bit of an oddity. It was the cheap end of the LaserWriter II family, and to keep costs down Apple left out networking and Postscript. The IISC connected to your Mac using a SCSI cable. QuickDraw images were rendered in the computer and then sent to the printer.

The LaserWriter IISC could be upgraded by replacing the logic board with a IINT, IINTX, IIF, or IIG board.
