I've been poking about in serial land, as there was a Mac
printer/serial in ìthere. According to my serial tester it looks
normal... however into my null ìmodem I'm only getting one way communication meaning the Apple end is missing handshaking again.
Oh, that sounds familiar. I spent the '90s scrounging cast-off
hardware from my job, and I ended up picking up an Apple Laserwriter
for my all- DOS/Windows home. Realized I could just send postscript

Ahhh droool, back then we'd have nearly sold our cardboard box for a ìlaserwriter. I actually can't remember what we had, might have been
an HP Laserjet in the end.
Fastest way to talk to a laserwriter was AppleTalk.. second was serial, ìpretty much the only alternative... 9600 I think is its default
speed... not ì100% sure though, its definately the speed the
ImageWriter runs at. And yes ìthey do weird DSR handshaking not
RTS/CTS
