Hi, all. I've got a parallel Centronics printer (Epson mx-80) and a terminal with an Auxilary (serial port) which I'd like to marry. Does someone out there have a serial-parallel port schematic (Yea, I know it's simple)? -- Which is worse ignorance or apathy? Who knows, who cares.

Good luck!!

A UART and few gates should solve your problem. Use a UART, which does not require a CPU for it's setup - such as 6402 for example. The receiver output is your parallel port; extra gates will provide Centronics strobes. -- Regards, *************************************************************************** Michael Barnea, UUCP: {allegra, linus, ihnp4, decvax}!utzoo!mnetor!michael MAIL: Computer X Canada, Ltd. 560 Denison st.
