SILENTYPE PRINTER: pin-out needed

[sebugg@presby.edu (Stephen Buggie)]

                                                             8-25-93

             DB-9 PIN-OUTS FOR APPLE SILENTYPE PRINTER:
             =========================================
             CAN THIS PRINTER BE ADAPTED FOR DB-25 USE?
             ==========================================

Recently I got an Apple "Silentype" thermal dot matrix printer (c1980).
This printer uses a similar thermal dot technology as the Apple Scribe,
a later model.

Was I have is:  The Silentype printer (in apparently good condition), the
owner's manual, half a roll of thermal paper.  I do NOT have the proprietary
interface card.  I note that the only wire exiting from the printer is the
male db-9 style plug (similar to the plug of a mouse or joystick).

QUESTION:  Since I do not have the special interface card, is there any
possible way that the cord could be spliced onto a standard serial db-25
connector?   Does anyone have the pin-out information on this printer?
This information is not stated in the manual.   Thanks.   sebugg
