   I have hooked up an Apple Laser Writer + board brains to an old
Cannon LBP-8A1, but recently, the serial interface wires 
were severed. I need to get the pin numbers from the Laser
Writer board to which pins on a DB25 serial interface so
I can interface it once again. Right now I am forced to use Appletalk
with a flaky Copy II option board to put postscript files on Mac disks
to print them. Please! Does anyone have that old Computer Shopper
article or a tech-ref manual giving the pinouts? Please!?
