Do you have the three wire AppleTalk cable? You'll need the 8 pin Mini DIN AppleTalk box. Alternatively you could get a pair of PhoneNet boxes and use standard phone cord between them. Probably get that whole setup for less than one regular AppleTalk box. > There is a wide SCUSI and a narrow SCUSI port on the > printer. What are the symbols next to those connectors? The "wide SCSI" port is probably a parallel port. Have a closer look, should be numbers in the plastic on the connector. (Real little ones.) If the highest number is 36 it's a parallel port for PC use. If the "narrow SCSI" port is "male" with pins it's a serial port, also for use with a PC or other system. Might be able to connect direct to it with a Mac, skipping the AppleTalk or PhoneNet. If it's a "female" connector with holes, then it's a SCSI port to connect a hard drive for font storage. ===== "Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger.
