I would like to hear from people with experience hooking up an
ImagewriterII to an Amiga 1000.  I'm considering buying one for my 1000, but
had no luck when I tried to connect a borrowed ImagewriterII using the Apple's
"ImagewriterII-to-Apple IIe serial card" cable; that is, I made a few attempts
to print (from the CLI and from a few programs with print options), but
couldn't get any reaction at all from the printer.  (NOTE:  The ImagewriterII
DIP switches were all set to their "factory default" settings.)

If you have had success in using this printer, please tell me:
1) where you got the printer cable from, and was it off-the-shelf or
was it made to order?
2) what preference settings did you use?
3) are you happy with the printer?
4) do you also use a modem, and if so, how do you share the serial port
between the modem and printer?

Please send your responses to me directly at my email address noted below.
(Anyone else interested in the same information can contact me in a while, and
I'll forward any responses on to you.)

Thank you.
