	Ok, folks, you're my last, only, and best hope:

	I have an ancient wheezing Apple Imagewriter serial (RS232) printer at
9600baud, 7,N,1.  I also have a bright, shiny, new '286 with an RS232 serial
port.  To connect the two, I hooked the Imagewriter serial cable to the
Imagewriter, and to a female-female gender changer to connect it with the
serial port on the '286.  It's not working.  Are there any obvious hints I
should know to get this thing working; ie, to be able to type "copy readme.doc
com2" (it's in com2 because I've got a card modem configured for com1) and have
it print out.

	Thanks!
