I received no reply on this before and i still need help.  I have a friend
with a Kaypro 4 and an NEC 7710 Spinwriter.  They don't seem to talk to
each other.  I've tried simple things like PIPing a text file to various 
ports, e.g. LST:, PRN:, PUN:, AUX: in every case the system hangs, as 
though waiting for a DTR.  The printer self tests OK and both units are set
to run at 1200 baud, 8 bits, no parity.  I don't even get garbage.  The NEC
has a DB25 connector; that with the baud and parity switches makes me believe it
uses a serial interface.  Is there something else i need to know to get
the Kaypro to dump a character stream?  It also has a parallel port, but 
the software didn't have any procedures to reassign any logical devices.
