I'd like to mount a DB25 parallel port on the back of my IIe with a
short cable to the printer card similar to what I have done with my
SSC card. It is a standard part? Hints on where I can get one?
A DB-25M/F is about as standard as they get. What isn't necessarily standard
is the pinout on the card itself. Which adapter are you using?
I was afraid of that.
Perisoft, Inc. Printer Link. I have no docs or pin-outs either.
Do you have the original cable from the printer card with the Centronics
connector at the printer end?
Found it.
If you have that, and a multimeter, it should be a few minutes with the
meter, a pencil and paper, and you'll know the pinout at the interface
card end. From that, you know the standard DB-25 pinout, so you can
make/acquire the right cable.
Yep, I figured that would be the worse case scenario. I'll order a
DB-25 female with solder cups. I'd prefer to not butcher up the
original cable, so, any pointers to a 20C ribbon cable with connector?
