As for taking care of his >problem, I've seen ads for parallel/serial converters with buffers, but I I thought the new Imagewriter had both parallel and serial input? If not then obviously a simple cable won't make it. There are serial and parallel converters. MicroFaser or some such made one that I used to convert serial to parallel with a built in buffer and it all worked fine. This was an Apple //c to my MX-80. Sorry I made the assumption that the original poster knew serial and parallel meant more then finding a cable.
