[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] connecting a Commodore printer to an IBM

smeets@speedy.ada.cci.de (Vincent Smeets) (05/06/91)

Does anybody have an idee about how I can connect a Brother HR-10C
daisywheel printer to an IBM (or compatible)? The problem is that this
printer has a connector for a Commodore C-64 computer and this is a
synchronical serial connection.

My first idee was to connect the printer to the serial port of my
computer. The only problem is that the HR-10C has a synchronical serial
port and I don't know how I must connect this to the asynchronical
serial port of the IBM. I also have to know how I must direct the
serial port of my computer to behave as an asynchronical serial port.

My second idee was to build or buy a converter from RS-232 or
Centronics to Commodore-Serial. For this solution, I need a building
plan or a place and price where I can buy a convertor.
