Okay, I'll try this again.  I recently picked up a Convergent
WorkSlate laptop at a liquidation price (for those not familiar...
it's a computer that came out at the end of 1983 that's basically
a spreadsheet computer... no BASIC or any programing facilities...
but very compact (about the size and weight of an issue of Byte
and has a built in microcassette recorder for data AND voice,
300 baud modem, and speakerphone built in)).  I know from reading
the original article about the computer that the "printer port"
on the back of the machine is a 9600 baud asynch port.  They
also had available a serial/parallel convert which could plug
into this "printer port" for parallel printers.  My question is...
does anyone know the pinout for the I/O port
's connector (it's an 8 pin telephone jack style connector)?
If not... without a scope, is there any way for me to figure
out what pins correspond to what RS-232 signals (I already have
the connectors to wire the thing up... I just have to figure out
which lines should go to which pins in a DB25 connector).
What if I get access to a scope... is there a systematic way to
figure things out then?

Any help is appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

P.S. - any suggestions on other newsgroups I should try posting
this message to?  Also... if anyone else is interested in this
machine, I can give you my reactions to using it and where you
can get it for $120 including 10 software (mostly financial
applications) packages.

(It was originally (in 1983-84) a $900 machine!)
