Re: EPSON parallel card?

The bad news is that in the days of Apple IIs, parallel printer cards are

centronics 36pin has specific requirements, there is absolutely no standard
what so ever on the end that attaches to the card. Every vendor does it
"their own way."

Unless you can find documentation for the card and fabricate your own cable,
I am afraid all you have is a nifty paper weight. The good news is that
there were enough Epson APL cards out there that presumably someone out
there does have the documentation... (anyone?)

Thank you both for your help. I'll second: Anyone??
