I'm trying to connect a Centronics-type printer to the IEEE 488 port of a friend's Osborne Executive. Two different manuals show two different pin arrangements for the cable (they differ in the arrangement of the data lines). Since the control lines are the same for both, I should be able to at least get garbage out, but instead the Osborne gives me: BIOS error device CEN not ready... I would appreciate advice from anyone who has made this work. -- Ron -------
