Hi Geoffrey;

I just found the section in the manual where it mentions apple/mac.
The pin outs shows an example for Apple IIc and an example for a Mac.

M-1109          AppleIIc

FG (case) ----- case
SD (2)    -----  4
RD (3)    -----  2
DR (6)    -----  1
SG (7)    -----  3
DTR(20)   -----  5

M-1109          Mac

FG (1)    -----  8
SD (2)    -----  9
RD (3)    -----  5
SG (7)    -----  3
DTR(20)   -----  7

I discovered I have a Mac modem cable (mini din8 M to db25 M) and it
seems it does not work. The printer just sits there after being
switched on and setting the printer head.
