I thought that the SCSI connector was for connecting a hard drive for print server functions. The serial port is used for printer connections to a host through AppleTalk.
>From <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24474> "The Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) connector is not used on this printer. The 25-pin connection allows serial communication with a DOS/Windows computer; you can change communication rates and protocols via the Switch Bank. The mini DIN-8 connector allows AppleTalk communication with Mac OS compatible computers via LocalTalk connectors. The SCSI connector is used for external hard drives to store downloaded font files; the SCSI connector is not used for SCSI printing directly from a Macintosh. This printer does not support simultaneous communications." Ken -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
