Custom Cable Settings for MacPlot

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
Those who wish to build a custom cable for use with the MacPlot driver should follow the pin assignments below.

These are the corresponding pins for the MacPlot driver:

   DIN 8       DB 9        DB 25 (male)
     8           3              1
     4           3              7
     5           9              2
     3           5              3
     2           7              20


Note: The pin-out diagrams in the early manuals for MacProject II and MacDraw II were incorrect. Additionally, the wiring diagram was reversed.
