Unless you change the LaserWriter to not use Xon/Xoff, you will have problems with buffer overflow when connected to an IBM PC. This of course assumes that you are NOT using any software that is suppose to handle Xon/Xoff flow control signals from a serial printer. What I am saying is that the LaserWriter defaults to Xon/Xoff flow control and the IBM PC test for Data Terminal Ready (DTR ??). You gotta get both machines using the same flow control. -- Timothy Lange Purdue University Computing Center West Lafayette, IN 317-494-1787 extension 260 tim@j.cc.purdue.edu
