   The normal mods for converting a standard IBM parallel printer cable to
an A1000 printer cable are:

-----
(at the computer end)

    Cut 23, 25
    Cut 16 and move to 25
    If Epson type, cut 14  (or you'll get forced extra linefeeds)

Then add sex changer.

   A2000 and A500 can use standard IBM type cable without mods.
