I don't know how it's numbered, so I'll make something up that should be easily reproducible. When holding it "right side up", there are two rows of three pins, then one row of two pins. I'll number them as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Imagewriter (DB25, male) Mac (DB8, male) ------------------------ --------------- 1 3 2 4 3 6 5 8 7 3 Have fun with it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Price | Internet: jprice@uclapp.physics.ucla.edu 5-145 Knudsen Hall | BITNET: price@uclaph UCLA Dept. of Physics | DECnet: uclapp::jprice Los Angeles, CA 90024-1547 | YellNet: 213-825-2259 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where there is no solution, there is no problem.
