	The following shows the cabling connections for a
	link between a NEC 5510 and an IBM PC.  It came
	about primarily through trial and error on my PC.


		IBM	NEC
		1  -----  1
		2  -----  3
		3  -----  2
	    +---4  -----  4-----+
	    |	5  ----- 19     |
	    |	6  -----  6--+  |
	    |	7  -----  7  |  |
	    +---8  -----  8--+  |
	                     |  |
	    		 20--+  |
			  5-----+

	The NEC switches should be set to reflect XON/XOFF,
	reverse channel high, Xmit even parity, full duplex,
	recieve parity off.

	To convince programs such as WordStar to work with the
	Spinwriter, configure them for NEC 7700 series if 5500
	is not available and execute the following mode command:

		MODE COM1:12,E,7,1,P

	NOTE:

		If you execute MODE LPT1:=COM1:, at least
		WordStar will not work properly.
