All I did was buy an 'Apple //e Printer Cable.' What it is is a DB-25
connector <-> DIN 8 (on a //e, it connects from the DB-25 Super Serial Card
port to the ImageWriter II). It works fine, no null modem needed or anything.
I got the '//e printer cable' for $22 from my dealer; ComputerWare sells
an equivalent for around $14, I think ( I needed mine in a hurry).
