[comp.periphs] need serial cable for Diablo printer

dsueme@chinet.chi.il.us (dave sueme) (01/19/89)

I need a cable, or specs for a cable, for a Diablo D80IF printer.
Xerox is willing to SELL me the info in an extra-cost manual.  I
think that cabling specs (it is a proprietary interface) should not
be an added cost item, and will not pay until I exhaust all possible 
alternatives.

printer is the Diablo "API" interface (50 pin)
computer has a DTE port, not DCE as is common in PC's (it's a 3B1)
protocol must be x-on/x-off, not hardware handshake.

thanks for your help.
