[tech] Random coke brain/generic controller idea

[Nick Bannon]

On Sunday, one of the useful things that happened was a going through
of several of the Laserwriters we had seeing if we could swap logic
boards to make extra working ones. No luck unfortunately, but at least
we managed to classify some bulky items as FITH and chuck them.

So... we have a lot of spare Laserwriter logic boards. 68020's, couple
of megs of RAM, readymade interfaces and an OS and scripting language
built in... (PostScript) Unknown condition, but some of them might be OK.

Does anyone feel at all enthused about seeing if we can power one up
without the rest of the printer and make it tweak a TTL line or something?
Does anything approaching documentation exist for them? if so, who could
we ask or where could we look?
