[comp.sys.misc] Parallel Interface for Okidata Microline 182 and TRS 1000HX

gorman@BRAGGVAX.ARPA (02/26/88)

Folks,

For several days now I've been calling all over the country trying to
get tech support from Okidata and Tandy to provide me with a pin
configuration for a parallel cable to connect the two subject devices.
Okidata claims Tandy sells such a cable, and Tandy says Okidata does.
I do have a parallel cable from Tandy, but it is straight through and
from what I can best determine, the 1000HX and the 182 signals do not 
match.  I've tried wiring several custom pin-outs, but no luck.  Would
some kind soul out there have a lead for me?  If so, please reply
directly as I am not on this mailing list.

Thanks in advance!
Bryan Gorman


P.S. I have removed the Microline's serial interface, so the default
interface is the parallel port.
