Message-ID: <6014@alice.uUCp> Date: Mon, 1-Sep-86 23:11:02 EDT Article-I.D.: alice.6014 Posted: Mon Sep 1 23:11:02 1986 Date-Received: Tue, 2-Sep-86 07:03:38 EDT Reply-To: d@alice.UUCP (Daniel Rosenberg) Organization: Utility Muffin Research Kitchen Lines: 20 I'm beginning to lose faith here. I bought an "Amiga printer cable" from Harmony Computers & Electronics in Brooklyn, NY. It came as an "AMEGA CENTR." cable. All the pins were connected. It did not work with my LQ-800, which itself doesn't work well either (extra linefeeds regardless of SW2-8 position!!) So anyway -- I built my own cable - an IBM cable, gender-mendered, pins 16 and 23-25 cut. This might not be correct. My query: how do *you* build your parallel cables? ANY REPLIES WOULD BE, LIKE, *REALLY* APPRECIATED! Thankee. -- # Daniel Rosenberg (CE) @ AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill # disclaimer: These opinions are necessarily mine, not my employer's. # UUCP: { (ihnp4) || research || allegra}!alice!d AT&T: 201/582-6455 (work) # "We're not in the eighth dimension!
