A friend of mine has a PC and an apple IIGS.
Some questions:
Can he use his apple imagewriter 2 with the IBM, and if so, how?
Can he use his IIgs monitor with his PC?
He has the PC at work, and the GS at home. He wants to be able to just
get a PC CPU at home and use the old monitor and printer...
Please let me know.

I think so. Attach the printer to COM2 (as COM1 might be used by
a modem.) Then boot the PC and type
MODE lpt1=com2:9600,8,n,1
I can't remember if the n comes before the 8 or not, but it's this or
that.
Then the printer output should be directed to the imagewriter.
Disclaimer: I've not actually tried this, but I think it'll work.
