Description

The Personal LaserWriter NT ran a Motorola 68000 at a speed of 12Mhz. Like the Personal LaserWriter SC, it could produce about four pages a minute at 300 DPI. A 1.25MB ROM and 8MB RAM allowed the printer to handle more memory intensive tasks than the SC.

History

In order to make a LaserWriter for personal use, Apple had to cut back on many of the features in the Personal LaserWriter NT. Initially, the computers were shipped with out a CPU, however later models did include processors. Although Ethernet was never supported, LocalTalk Networking was possible.
