	Greetings. I have a question (that was probably beaten
	to death some time ago...)

	I need to convert a terminal's serial printer port for a
	parallel printer - ASAP. The terminal has a RS232 and
	the printer (Infoscribe 1000) has a centronics.

	I need a circuit that's as simple as possible. No need
	for fancy chips... the cheaper the better - and it does
	not have to fit in a match box ! ;-)

	An ASCII picture or a description with the general idea and
	what chips to use would be sensational! I'll keep what I
	get in case anyone else wants it

	Take care. (Please use e-mail, I'll post the final result)
