On my Lisa 2/5, the Profile connects to the parallel port via a 25-pin
connector.  It must be wired straight through, because it is a ribbon
cable.  Note that one pin must be removed from the connector or it will
not connect to the drive.  It's obvious which one...it's the pin whose
hole is missing on the drive connector...!
