I  have a few printers that use the Diablo API (A? Printer Interface)
interfaces and I want to construct cables that convert this
interface to a db25 plug.  I'm pretty sure it can be done, as the
printers are serial. Also, I think the person I bought the
printers from had these cables, but hacked them up for himself, 
since he didn't use the printers.
 
Can anyone look up in a Computer interfaces book or a printer
manual that uses Diablo API and mail me the pin outs of
the 50 pin API card edge connector?

Thanks!
