Serial interface

If you have a printer or another peripheral with a serial

interface, connect it to the serial (RS-232C) port at the back of

the computer.

The Equity LT uses a DB-9P connector, so be sure you

have an IBM AT-compatible cable (or an adapting cable that

converts the 9-pin output to the standard 25-pin output). To
connect a serial device, follow the same steps given above for
connecting a parallel device.

You need to ensure that the serial port is set up to

function properly. If you are using the port for a serial printer,

you must also redirect printer output to the serial instead of
the parallel port. To make these changes, use the MS-DOS

SETMODE program (or the MODE command), described in

your MS-DOS manual.
