I'll check my cable tonight, but it is supposed to be an Imagewriter II
cable (ie. not straight through).

If I'm not using any particular driver and boot into DOS or PRODOS,
should I be able to PR#1 and print from the command prompt? Because at
the moment I cannot do this.

Is there any special settings required on the serial port (from the
IIgs control panel)?
