I'd like to know the opposite.  How hard is it to connect a non-Apple
computer (e.g. an AT&T PC6300) to an Apple Imagewriter II?  I believe
the IW's port is a standard serial port, but it has that funny circular
connector.  Is it simply a matter of getting a cable with a standard
serial RS-232 connector on one end and the Apple plug on the other?
