B#%%@#IT! (sic) I've already done it.  I connected a Mac II to a LW
IINT using the ImageWriter II cable.  Everything worked fine.  I later
verified this setup with an Apple rep as I wondered if there was
someone less than obvious to be lost (like speed).  He checked and
said there was no reason not to use the IW cable.
