As far as I know you just set the LaserWriter to 9600 (switching
off AppleTalk) and using a terminal emulator on the ST, capable
of transmitting at 9600 (8 databits, no parity, 1 stopbit). It's
possible also to transmit at lower speeds when the LaserWriter
knob is set to a lower speed (masochists can go down to 1200 baud,
I believe ;)

If u wanna use Diablo 630 emulation, you set the knob to 'Special'.

BTW, the LaserWriter accepts any RS-232 cable. 3 wires (Transmit, Receive
and Ground) are plenty as it uses XON/XOFF as protocol.

Hope this helps.


PS Don't forget using the DB-25 connector on the back, the other one
is for AppleTalk. You might blow up the AppleTalk interface if used
incorrectly.
