[net.wanted] Parallel to serial protocol converter

aburt@isis.UUCP (Andrew Burt) (09/27/85)

I'm looking for a Centronics parallel to RS-232 protocol converter,
(with or without a buffer) for a decent price.  Does anyone have
any recommendations?  I glanced through a recent Byte, and those that
existed in mail order ads were all $150+, a price I find hard to fathom
for what I naively regard as a simple bit of hardware.

[The Byte in question was the one with the do-it-yourself converter, but,
alas, I'm strictly a software type.  (The author's estimate of parts there
was $35.  BTW, if anyone in the Denver area is interested in a little money...
let me know.)]

Hello,

My name is Bevan Ting. I'm from Sydney, Australia. I know I should have
mail to you directly, but somehow I have trouble mailing it.
Anyway, if you go out and buy any copy of A+ magazine, you'll find that
there's a lot of Parallel-Serial cables that you can buy for less than
$100.
I hope this helps.

Regards,
Bevan Ting
