We have a printer which we believe is a Diablo 620 (from the name
plate) which WANG has slapped their name on.  We want to hook it up to
a PS/2 30/286 as a serial printer.  Two questions come up.

1)  Is the PS/2 30/286 25-pin serial port COM1 or COM2?

2)  Does the Diablo 620 need a standard Rs-232 serial cable, or are
some pins different, requiring a different cable?

Thanks for your help.
Mark
