The LocalTalk connector had the distinction of being the first to use Apple's unified
AppleTalk Connector Family design, created by
Brad Bissell of
Frog Design using
Rick Meadows'
Apple Icon Family designs. LocalTalk connectors were first released in January 1985 to connect the
LaserWriter printer initially with the
Macintosh family of computers as an integral part of the newly announced
Macintosh Office. ==References==
