<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
