The "LaserWriter IINT/NTX Owner's Guide" (030-315-A), in the section titled
"Using the 25-pin connector," fails to mention that a modem eliminator is
needed. The complete connection is:
25-pin serial cable
to
25-pin Apple Modem Eliminator (590-0166-A)
to
serial port on LaserWriter II
In the subsection "Making the connection," step 6, the MS-DOS commands
should be:
MODE COM1:96,N,8,1,P
MODE LPT1:=COM1:
With the commands in the manual, Shift-* doesn't print the screen as it's
supposed to.
