Can anyone out there give me the pinouts for
connecting an IBM-pc to the LaserWriter+.
According to DVILASER/PS installation Instructions
that accompany Textset's PostScript Printer Driver
for IBM computers the required cable is NOT a standard
printer cable with pins 2 and 3 crossed. They don't, however,
give much more help on this matter!

Please email replies directly to me at one of the following
