I am looking to build a cable for the Amiga 500 to an Imagewriter. This is for a friend that I would like to keep, so I want to get it right the first time :-). Please note that this is for the Imagewriter, not the Imagewriter II. I found the proper switch settings in the 1.3 enhancer manual so now I just need specs for the cable. (Why weren't they in the 1.3 update? Maybe there is a different manual?) By the way, my dealer didn't have this kind of information. They aren't the most experienced dealer but they are new to the Amiga and they try harder than anyone else in this area. What book might I find cable information like this? If I told them which it was they'd keep it in stock so that they could always look it up for people. Shouldn't that info be in their dealer kit? -Tom -- Tom Limoncelli Drew University Madison NJ 201-408-5389 tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet limonce@pilot.njin.net "Fences make good neighbors" -Frost "I want an MMU" -Me Standard disclaimer?

Tom, I have an Imagewriter hooked up...with a normal RS232 cable and a NULL modem. Be sure NOT to connect the power pins (I'm not near Amiga books, so can't tell you those now.) Of course, if your Imagewriter does not have the normal 25 pin connector.. this won't help much. The Imagewriter I have is from an Apple Lisa. :-) jim moore jmoore@dtix I have opinions, the Navy sinks ships. -------
