My main Contribution to the Apple // world

Please note this page is still under construction...so it may appear strange on some viewers!!!

It's not much but you wouldn't believe how many times I've seen this file posted(actually pasted) word for word on various news groups with NO mention of my name.

Yes...ladies and gentleman at long last the pinouts for a "WORKING" cable that will connect an IBM machine to an Apple Imagewriter 2 printer.

I have made and tested several of these cables all with no problems. In no time you'll be printing from Wordperfect,Lotus,PrintShop and other DOS programs.

I don't run windows so I have no clue if it will work from any windows based programs.

The only thing you need to do now is attach your cable to the COM1 port of your MS-DOS machine and add these lines to your autoexec.bat program.

• mode lpt1:=com1
• mode com1:96,n,8,1

If your using COM2:

• mode lpt1:=com2
• mode com2:96,n,8,1
