[comp.periphs] HP 9872A plotter - looking for cable pinouts

nick@kralizec.fido.oz.au (Nick Andrew) (10/28/90)

G'day,
	A friend has just bought a Hewlett-Packard 9872A plotter from
auction. The beast has 2 Centronics sockets on the back, for which
we need pinouts before we can get it going.

Some details ... there are 2 centronics sockets. The first is labelled
HPIB and is a 14-pin; the second is labelled 9815a and is 24 pins wide.

Can anybody help with the specs for these? I assume (not being familiar
with plotters) they're standard type connectors for which the pinouts
and interfacing is readily available.

Please reply to nick@ultima.socs.uts.edu.au or nick@kralizec.fido.oz.au

BTW he also bought a HP-7225A with a card-edge connector, but we gave up
thinking about that one.

Onegaishimasu,
	Nick.
