->  RJT> Are we talking about a mini-DIN connector then?

-> I've never seen a DIN LPT cable, have you?

 They used them with Apple(Mac) systems before they jumped big time into
USB. Althouhg the "Local Talk" was more of a LAN.
In fact I recently saw a Cat cable RJ-45 to "Local Talk" converter in
FRY's for use with some Apple printers..
