     The cable I have is the original Print Pack. I believe the Print
Pack II came with software you have to install on the Newton yourself. It
may have been a dumb cable similar to the Mac-Parallel cables. Not having
a Print Pack II, I can't be sure. So, it's possible that "any ol' serial
to parallel cable" might work with the Print Pack II software.
