Printer Interface) >interfaces and I want to construct cables that convert this >interface to a db25 plug. The Diablo API supports RS232 serial, Centronics parallel, and optionally IEEE-488. What you get depends on the adapter cable that you use- for RS: Signal name I/O pin RS232 (DB25P) Frame ground 22 1 Transmit data 24 2 Receive data 48 3 RTS 23 4 (pulled up to +12) DSR 49 6 Signal ground 47 7 DTR 25 20 The I/O pin refers to the 50 position connector on the printer- if you want the parallel pinout, drop me mail and I'll SNail or FAX it to ya. --mike -- USMAIL: Mike Szymendera / Canisius College / 2001 Main St. / Buffalo,NY 14208 OFFICE: 42 55m 32s N / 78 51m 10s W / basement | (716) 888-2411, 888-2414 UUCP: ...!acsu.buffalo.edu!canisius!mikey BITNET: SZYMENDERA@CANISIUS INET: @relay.cs.net:mikey@canisius.edu
