My Apple dealer gave me the following pinouts, which still don't
seem to solve a problem that I've had with Laserwriter buffer overruns.

   PC          LaserWriter
  DB-9           DB-25

   1               4
   2               2
   3               3
   4              5&6
   5               7
  6&8             20
   7               8

Let me know if you find a better mapping.
