The only thing the LaserWriter cares about is pins 2, 3 and 7.
I think the Atari doesn't care as well but I have the standard
4-5-6 and 8-20 jumpers on the connector.

Actually, I don't have the Atari hooked to the LaserWriter.  I run
the Atari as a terminal on our UNIX system and have the LaserWriter
on the UNIX system (thus, I can stick Atari generated PostScript
in with troff/devps generated PostScript but I know that only 2, 3 and
7 are connected on the LaserWriter.
