Tim,
The serial port on a windows box is rs232... incompatible with localtalk
or rs422. It might be bad to try this, wouldn't want to fry anything.
The db9 phonenet is for the orginal mac, I believe, which didn't have the
miniDIN 8 plug, like the later macs do. Also, if you have a Localtalk PC
card for the windows box, it would indeed use this, as opposed to the mini8.
Quite possibly a few older printers of various makes with localtalk options
may have used this, I'm unsure. Now, if only I knew what that hdb15 phonenet
adapter was, that I found last year...
John
