Please post or send mail to va@cbnewsj.att.com > Should not be a problem. The original C-Itoh was just a C-Itoh 850 with a serial port and an Apple logo. If the Imagewriter II still has a 25 pin serial port, plug it in and try different 24 pin drivers until it works. Epson LQ-1500 is pretty standard. If all the printer has is an Apple LocalTalk connection (Round 8 pin?), then a serial converter is reccomended. If you can't plug it in, try selling it. Panasonic makes a good 24 pin (1124) which retails for under $300. You can use it with your parallel printer port and get much faster data throughput. The print speed is about the same. You may even convince somebody to swap with you. If you are trying to share an Imagewriter with an Apple by installing a switchbox, it's easier to network the two machines. Try TOPS. Hope this helped. -- LEVINSON,MARC LOUIS Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{allegra,amd,hplabs,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!prism!gt0159a ARPA: gt0159a@prism.gatech.edu or marc@isye.gatech.edu
