Laserwriter 8.0 Driver 1993

From RetroTechCollection

Installing and Using the LaserWriter 8.0 Driver is Apple's 1993 software update guide, 42 pages. It is a software document, not a hardware one.

Nothing about the hardware at all. No service procedures, no parts, no schematics, no voltages, no component values, no symptom charts. It should never be cited for a hardware figure.
