- I have a problem. I want to hook up an Epson Actionprinter T-1000 to my
- IIe, using an Epson printer card. The problem, according to Epson USA,
- is that the card I have a) was never released officially or b)is a
- Euro-creation. I did obtain the computer used while I was in Germany. I
- have no cable for this card, and I do not know what to do. The
- connection on the card (an Epson APL 8132 W) seems to require a 20-pin
- connector similar to the connector found on the card end of the ribbon
- cables for the old Disk II drives, 2 rows of 10 pins. Could anyone out
- there fill me in on where I could get such a cable (the prntr end is
- standard Centronics 36), or BETTER, what the pinouts are for this card,
- as I would prefer to make a cable (due to my budget of near-nada) rather
- than buy one. Budget is also the reason why I would prefer to use this
- card if at all possible instead of buying another card. There was also
- a grafstar prntr card in my IIe, 2 rows if 13, 26 pins..Hm....
- I would appreciate any assistance. Please Email.
- Thanks in advance...
