<as i am new to Vnews, errs can be expected occasionally> Sompe of my previous message was chopped, perhaps the most important part of the message.. I have an IBM PC/AT clone, and have recently acquired an IBM 5224-2 printer. I would like to interface the two, but as the 5224 is Twinax (interface that IBM uses on its System 3x's), this is not easily done. I have located an interface, however the company that manufactures it asks $1400. I would appreciate information on where i could obtain a similar device, of course at a much reduced cost. If this cannot be supplied, i would also appreciate perhaps a schematic for such a gadget, or evein tech specs for the Twinax protocol/interface could be helpful. Thank you Robert J Miskines
