*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR AMIGA ***
With the help of two electrical engineers, I managed to hook my Amiga to my
Sony KV1311CR RGB Analog Monitor and my Centronix Parrallel printer.
Amiga DB25 pin female connecter to centronix parallel 36 pin connecter.
Amiga Epson

1-13 Data, etc 1-13

15-22 Gnd 20-27

Be sure to have pins 22 and 23 from the Amiga either not connected, or well
protected. Pin 23 carries +5 volts, which can fry your printer.
The Sony was a little bit trickier. Since I could not find a DB23 pin female
connecter, I took a DB25 pin connecter and cut off pins 13 and 25. It is not
pretty, but it works quite well. On the Sony side, you need a 34 pin double
square pin connecter. The pins match up as follows:
Amiga Sony

3 Red 25
4 Green 26
5 Blue 27
16 Gnd 4
17* Audio Select 34*
23** +5v 33**
? CSYNC 31
* This is hooked to ground to force audio through the monitor in audio jack.
If you want to hook audio through the 34 pin connector, split pin 23 to
both pins 33 and 34 on the Sony.
** You MUST put a 4.7K Ohm resistor between the Amiga and the Sony on line 23.
? Reference either Intro to Amiga or Amiga Hardware manual for CSYNC pin.
I hope this helps, as I went through some work to figure these out. If you
need more help, send email.
