- The cable you need can be built rather simply if you carefully look at the
- parallel port pinout for the A1000 and the pinout of a standard (look at a
- A2000) parallel port. Comparing these two will give you an idea of what nneds
- to be done.
-
- The schematics are freely available.
-
- You don't need to be a soldering iron genius, but you must be careful not to
- bridge any two adjacent pins.
-
- I've found two "commercial" cables in the old stock of stuff I've acquired from
- my old store. EMAil me if you need more info.
