- I found that that my Imagewriter (1985 US model) works fine with the amy with the
- following 3 wire connection:
-
- Amy Immy
-
- 7 SGnd ------- 7 SGnd
- (2 or 3) Xmit ------- (2 or 3) Rcv (can't remember which way round)
- (5 or 6) RTS? ------- 20 DTR <----- ******** NB
-
- As I say, I can never remember the polarity of RTS/CTS and whether 2 or 3 is Xmit.
- The obvious correct connection from this lot should work though. I also remember that
- I used a different DIP setting from the one used with the Apple II - I think this was
- to do with CR-LF vs. CR, DIP 2-4 or close to it.
-
- Hope this helps,
- Dave
