Hi everyone!
I have a magic box that used to interface a commodore PET to a serial
printer (or so I'm told!). It is made by TNW Corporation and is called
TNW-2000. The board is (c) 1979. This box has a standard GPIB connector
together with a PET User Port card connector, and a standard RS 232
connector.
The design seems to be centered around a "AY-5-1013A" 40-pin chip, with
some TTL circuitry around.
Unfortunately, the manuals seem to have been thrown out, together with
the PETs. Does anyone know *anything* about this thing??? If it is a
full GPIB-serial converter, it would be very useful to me - if it is
not, it will have to go back into the bookshelf again (sniff).
Thanks in advance & happy computing!
