For your information:
I hooked up my ImageWriter I to my COM1 serial port and used the
C-Itoh 8510 driver in Windows 3.1. The cable I am using is a
straight-thru cable connected to a Null Modem Adapter I got at Radio
Shack (catalog #26-1496a) for $4.95. It seems to work fine with both
DOS and Windows. I used the following command in DOS
C:\DOS\mode COM1:9600,n,8,1,p
and set up the port the same way in the Windows Ports setup.
the Null Modem connections are as follows:
1 to 1
2 to 3
3 to 2
4 to 5
5 to 4
6+8 to 20
20 to 6+8
7 to 7
I printed from several applications and all seems OK.

The only thing you need to do now is attach your cable to the
COM1 port of your MS-DOS machine and add these lines to your
autoexec.bat program.
mode lpt1:=com1
mode com1:96,n,8,1
If you are using COM2:
mode lpt1:=com2
mode com2:96,n,8,1 "
Look for a driver for a NEC 8023A. I have never done this. This is a
file from my bbs. Good luck.
