Yes...ladies and gentleman at long last the pinouts for a
"WORKING" cable that will connect an IBM machine to an
Apple Imagewriter 2 printer.  Amaaazing!!!!

I have made and tested several of these cables all with no
problems.  In no time you'll be printing from
Wordperfect,Lotus,PrintShop and other DOS programs.

I don't run windows so I have no clue if it will work from
any windows based programs.

The only thing you need to do now is attach your cable to
the COM1 port of your MS-DOS machine and add these lines to
your autoexec.bat program.

mode lpt1:=com1
mode com1:96,n,8,1



If your using COM2:

mode lpt1:=com2
mode com2:96,n,8,1
