Thank you, Raymond
YES YES it works!! (but YOU knew that....:-)
annotated (for others??? ):
IBM 9 Pin Side               Apple Imagewriter II

8            cts                      1             dtr
5            gnd                    4 and 8   gnd
1, 4 and 6   cd,dtr,dsr      	2             dsr
Thanks, this doesn't correlate to the 'pattern' in the official
imagewriter II Tech Ref manual......
(anybody that doesn't have a mini DIN cable w/ 4 & 8 connected inside:
remove left leg from IWII. jumper 4 to 8...)

The C.Itoh-8510 driver IS the 1.
