Summary: Too much connected?


Hi,

	I'm at home right now, so I dont have access to my heavy
IBM pee-cee dox, but I grabbed the cable I made for my Amiga.  It
has on the end that would normally plug into the pee-cee pins 1-12
and 19 connected.  Of those pins, it is wired just like the pee-cee
cable, and with a sex changer on the db25 end, it will work with a
pee-cee.

	It seems that I remember that when I used a "full"
centronics cable that the Amiga kept resetting the printer.

	Also, watch out (you obviously have from the way your note
reads) for the power output prints that are in unusual places on
the Amiga's printer interface.

	Note, we are not responsible for any smoke that you make by
wiring your amiga incorrectly!
