Sounds like a Mac-to-LaserWriter (or LW Plus) cable. I've never tried it but you might also have success getting a 512 networked with another Mac with this cable. >The second cable has a 9 pin D style with the left pin and the right >pin of the 5 pin row present (having 3 blanks between) and the 4 pin row > has 2 blank spots on the left side and 2 pins at the right side, >connected to a mini din which sports a plastis locator pin like old >apple talk connectors.

I haven't a clue there, although I suppose that might *also* be a cable for putting a 512 on a LocalTalk network. Try the Ports and Pinouts doc linked in the FAQ (or on Gamba's page) and see if you can deduce anything from which pins are connected. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
