I have an old Radio Shack DMP-120 dot matrix printer that I am willing to loan him if we can get it connected (he realizes that it will only do text and not graphics). THe printer has both a parallel and a serial port. However, the serial port on the IIc is a five pin port and the one on the printer is only 4 pin. I am pretty sure I could make a cable if I had the port assignments for the IIc and a connector. Does anyone have the port assignments (they are not in the manual) and/or know where to get a connector for it. If you can help, please E-mail me since I usually do not read this newsgroup. Thanks Curt Tatman
