I am trying to attach a DEC LA50 dot matrix printer to a VS2000
and need some help with the cabling.  RS-232 doesn't seem to
work, at least null modem attach.  VS2k has  a DB9 connector with
	1 ground
	2 transmit
	3 receive
	5 +12V
	7 chassis gd
	9 FER_ENA
LA50 has a DB25 connector.  Does anyone know the pinouts on
the printer, or what needs to be connected to what?  Thanks.
And, what is FER_ENA?
