Can a DECWriter IV be wired up to a PC?  The printer has a 25-pin male
connection which would imply that it's a serial connection, but most
PC serial ports are male as well.  Do I need to find a
female-to-female cable?  Is it even a serial connection?  (I don't
have the documenation on this printer, so I'm hoping someone else has
run across this.)
