[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] amiga<->ibm centronics link

gidday,
      I have just bought an ibm compatible AT-286-16 (ok ok no
flaming I'll admit I was feeling ill at the time) and would 
like to connect it up to my amiga 500 via the centronics port. 
Something like laplink is what I need however the laplink cable
seems to use _STRANGE_ pin connections (which would probably
cause clouds of smoke to emit from my ibm as the amiga supplies
+5v on pin 14? I think it's that one). What I need is books,
advice, source code, possible pin connections, etc.

Thanks is advance.
