[comp.periphs.printers] Converting Data Products Interfaces to RS-232

SLVQC@CUNYVM (Salvatore Saieva) (12/22/90)

Problem: We need to connect 2 printers that have Data
         Products interfaces to a RS-232 port.

We have looked at changing the interfaces on the printers to
RS-232.  The cost of changing our Prontronix P600 is $725 and
the Data Products BP1500 would cost $825.

Black Box makes a RS-232 to Data Products converter.
Sadly the latest model of the converter dose not support an
electronic VFU.

Dose anyone have any low cost solutions to this problem?

Sal.
