TOPIC




    I'm trying to hook up a Digital LQP02 serial daisywheel printer to a
    Macintosh SE.

    The pin-outs are:

    LQP02 Digital Macintosh SE

    Pin # Pin #
    1 shield 1 HSKO
    2 Tx data 2 HSKi
    3 Rx data 3 TxD-
    6 Data Set Ready 4 GND
    7 Signal ground 5 RXD-
    20 DTR 6 TxD+
    7 GPi
    8 RxD+

    Which pins goes to which connection?

    I understand that the grounds go together. What about the shield? Do I
    really need it? The Tx goes to Rx, but the + and - TxD, RxD on the
    Macintosh side was a little confusing.


DISCUSSION


    Use the negative TxD and RxD on the Macintosh side. Also, use the shield.
