Science Center Lines: 14 HELP! I bought an OKIMATE 20, and eagerly ran the self test, which ran flawlessly. But how do I get it to connect? The included IBM Parallel package included a Centronics to DB-25 male cable; I disconnected pin 23 (+5 volts--bad!) and slapped on a female-female gender changer, but every time I try to print anything to prt: I get a "check printer" requester. David at the Commodore-Amiga help number suggested I wire pin 16 on the cable to pin 25 on the Amiga, but pins 14-18 are nonexistant on the OKIDATA cable. Thanks muchly, Alvin Wen Y.A.A.D.
