Message-ID: <1991Mar6.013814.16089@starnet.uucp> Date: 6 Mar 91 01:38:14 GMT Distribution: comp Organization: Starnet Connections---Public Access UNIX Lines: 15 I want to use a QIC-02 Tape drive interfaced to the parralel port... First question is :is it possible? The 8bit bidirectinal data line is not a problem but I ran out quicly of lines for the other. But trying to andertand what the lines actualy do I suposed that some need the same signal... Like ACK and RDY -> ACK REQ and XFR -> RDY For the other it fit well. Can those can be 'mixed' ?! if it work it could be something really interting... am I totaly dreaming?!
