HSK,TRS, and deskwriter (mac version)
While I' at it, thinking of printers, I received the following the last time I
looked at attaching my old HP DeskWriter (mac version) to my linux box:

Not really resoldering, just making sure that you make a cable that, if
hooked into a mac using DTR (HSKo) handshaking (drop DTR when the mac
wants the PC to hush) it would work right.
AFAICT, there is no "Mac" or "IBM" version of the printing commands. The
only differences are in the external connection hardware.
Can anyone tell me what this means? (this came from the mac bsd list) What
would I do to a db9-din8 cable to achieve this? or is this a software
configuration issue?
