IW 2 to IBM
===========
"Yes...ladies and gentleman at long last the pinouts for a WORKING
cable that will connect an IBM machine to an Apple Imagewriter 2 printer.
In no time you'll be printing from Wordperfect, Lotus, PrintShop and other
DOS programs. I have no clue if it will work from any windows based
programs.

The only thing you need to do now is attach your cable to the COM1
port of your MS-DOS machine and add these lines to your autoexec.bat
program.
mode lpt1:=com1
mode com1:96,n,8,1
If your using COM2:
mode lpt1:=com2
mode com2:96,n,8,1 "
