Message-ID: <28202@teknowledge-vaxc.ARPA> Date: 1 Aug 89 06:35:13 GMT Distribution: na Organization: Teknowledge, Inc., Palo Alto CA Lines: 28 I am in need of directions on how to connect the 25-pin printer port on an IBM PS2 model 70 to a serial printer interface on a printer. I was under the impression that it worked this way: 1 ----------> 1 2 ----------> 3 3 ----------> 2 4 ----------> 20 5 not used 6 ----------> 11 7 ----------> 7 8-10 not used 11 ---------> 6 12-19 not used 20 ---------> 4 21-25 not used Unfortunately for me, this doesn't work at all. Any help would be appreciated, including good text references to this information.
