Greetings, Newbie question. New Macintosh user. Stuff you will know the answer to :)
( o o ) ( o oo ) ( o o o o ) ( o o ) Above represents, roughly, the serial port on the back of my Macintosh Performa 636CD. I notice that the third row of pins from the top row are 4 in number. But the serial cable I purchased for connecting a Macintosh StyleWriter II has but three pins in that row. Even so, the cable fits the serial port. Is it routine that one pin is not used? Or? A list group member got me on track to disable AppleTalk, which is not in use here, so that my serial port is available to the printer. However, that resolved, the 636 now reports to check that the printer is connected and turned on. Having no StyleWriter II manual, I am in doubt as to how the printer is put online. The rectangular light emitting diode lights up when I power up the printer. However, the small, round LED about an inch to the left of the power LED is not lighted. And the StyleWriter has but one button, for power on. Is the StyleWriter not online? Is the smaller, round LED for online? Or?
