         I have been trying to directly connect an IBM-PC (XT)
         or PS-2 to an Apple LaserWriter.  Using the COM1: port,
         I have tried a straight db25 serial connection plus 
         the following:

                  1  ------  1
                  2  ------  3
                  3  ------  2

               4 & 5         4 & 5

                  7  ------  7

             6 & 8 & 20     6 & 8 & 20

          I have not yet been able to print a vanilla ASCII file.
          If you could e-mail the right patch configuration, I
          really appreciate it.
