I'm presently trying to hook up an Apple ImageWriter II to an IBM-PC via the serial port, and having a bit of trouble with the handshaking. I've been led to believe that I might need to modify the switch settings inside the printer, but have no documentation on what the proper settings are (or indeed, what the switches do in the first place). Anybody with more information, or experience interfacing an IW2 with an IBM-PC, your help will be appreciated. Thanks Lance -- Lance T.
