I'm trying to save myself a few hundred dollars by using my Apple
Imagewriter printer with my AT clone.

I bought a "standard" RS-232 cable, and hooked up the serial port
(COM1) on my i/o board to the printer.

I used the MODE command to set up  port:

mode com1:96,n,7,1,p

Doesn't respond at all to print attempts, but get error message that
there are errors on the line, and the device may be off-line.

Has anyone successfully got this set-up to work???

I will buy first successful suggester a beverage of their choice (within
reason, sorry, no Dom Perignon!)
