short version ~ the first 2 are for the evil empire ! > RS422, and Apple LocalTalk (9-pin). now these 2 are what your mac can work with ! on the back of your mac is a socket with a picture of a printer above it ~ the 8 pin plug should fit in there . >The cables I have are the following: > >1) a cable with a nine-pin female connector on one end and a round, >eight-pin male connector on the other. Just before each end there's a >cylinder about an inch long and a half-inch in diameter. The round >connector has an icon of a single arrow. At intervals on the cable is >printed the following: if the socket on printer will only take a 9 pin plug then this is the beastie to use . >LL84201 CSA AWM I/IIA 80=BAC 300V 28AWG FT1 COPARTNER just the makers part/ internal stock number etc ,,,, >There's no other identifying information. > >2) a cable with identical round, eight-pin male connectors at each >end. On each connector is an icon with a pair of arrows in opposite >directions. No printing or other identifying info. this is a standard mac cable ~ as connecting my 7300 to printer / newton / quicktake ,,,, > >3) a cable similar to 2) above, except with no icons. ditto above , it depends upon getting hold of driver for the printer that'll enable your beastie to use it, ------- http://members.tripod.com/~petlibrary http://www.icpug.org.uk/national http://www.fortunecity.co.uk/skyscraper/perl/316 -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
