I can not get my Diablo 630 RO to print with my A1000. I'm afraid I don't
know much about hardware. I have a cable with pins 1-8, 10-13, and 17-25.
The pins don't switch around. i.e. pin 1 at one end goes to pin 1 on the other
end. How do I rewire this cable so I can print? Using this cable I can not
even get garbage from the printer.

The normal mods for converting a standard IBM parallel printer cable to an A1000 printer cable are: ----- (at the computer end) Cut 23, 25 Cut 16 and move to 25 If Epson type, cut 14 (or you'll get forced extra linefeeds) Then add sex changer. ----- A2000 and A500 can use standard IBM type cable without mods. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CATS >>Commodore Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,ihnp4,rutgers}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
