Hi all,
 
   I need to connect a PC compatible to an Apple Laserwriter IINT through
the serial port, using the minimum # of connections.  Could someone
mail me a pin-to-pin wiring table for this specific application?  I
am using 25-pin plugs.

Also, the Laserwriter will be connected to both the PC (serial port) and
to our Mac network (Appletalk?).  Anybody know if it will work?  (ie. if
the printer is not busy, it will accept data from either source?) 

- Mark
