A direct connection between the two works just like a two-node network. NO
CHANGES are needed in the chooser or anywhere else.

Don't remember offhand, but I do know that the Mini DIN-8 plugs are described
in Inside Mac IV. The DB9 is described in Inside Mac III. Since the Mac Plus
has a DIN8 and the Laserwriter a DB9 (the LW IIs have mini DIN8s also), why
would you want a DB25 pinout? If you're looking at the DB25 on the LW, forget
it. It's not useful to you.
