I have an ImageWriter II which I would like to connect to two computers
using a switchbox.  However, I would rather not pay $50+ for a simple
siwtchbox.  I believe that I can construct my own, but I will need some
source of power.  It's not often that both computers are on at the same
time so I don't think I should depend on either serial port for power;
however, the ImageWriter must be on if I am to use it.  So power from the
IW II would be preferable.  Does anyone know which each pin assignment is?
The manual only lists the signals, and the + or - values.  It does not
mention what the voltage ratings are or if it is on all the time or only
some of the time.
