 How to Reset the Configuration of a used Apple LaserWriter 16/600 printer
Because the LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer uses dynamic-interface switching and automatically selects the appropriate communication parameters and port based on the incoming data stream, the rotary switch on previous LaserWriters for selecting different communication protocol setups is not present.
The LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer has a two-position configuration switch for setting the parameters for the communication ports to a preset state or to a user-defined state.
Changes made to the communication parameter set using the Apple Printer Utility, LaserWriter Utility for Winodws, or low-level PostScript operators are saved to nonvolatile RAM regardless of what position the switch is in, but the changes are not used for any print job until the switch is moved to the up position.

Both immediately bring to mind either the maligned Apple "hockey puck" USB mouse or one of the lesser known space ships from Star Wars, depending upon your age and geek level.
Of course, the LaserWriter isn't on Belkin's list of supported devices, so it was just wishful thinking (the Intellicart is not listed either, of course, so you may have luck with some devices not officially supported by Belkin).
However, as a result of Apple's focus on USB and FireWire, there are a lot of perfectly good serial devices filling up peripheral graveyards everywhere.
