Land) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac Subject: Need plans for AT-to-Imagewriter II cable Message-ID: <5360014@hpccc.HP.COM> Date: 19 Aug 88 19:04:03 GMT Organization: HP Corporate Computing Center Lines: 20 I even looked through COMP.SYS.MAC before I wrote this... Is it me, or have the Gods conspired against me? I have been trying to build a cable to print on my ImageWriter II from an AT-class machine. There doesn't seem to be any reason that I can't -- DOS may be brain-dead, but at least you don't need special drivers for every printer in the world. Building a cable is another matter. If anybody has the secret plans for such a cable, I'd appreciate it. I'm also looking for a cable to print from my Mac SE to an HP LaserJet, but since I work for the company that makes that printer, I shouldn't have as much trouble. Thanks for your help. I need it. Dave When is a standard not a standard? When it's RS-232.
