36 Pin Centronics
Adapter Pin Out Diagram
Written by Joe Gliddon, 6/21/90
I have a XT-Clone (8088) with a serial printer port. The printer I use
is a Gemini 10x with a (36 pin) Centronics connector (that I'll be happy to
trade for a Laser Jet). :)
The following diagram was made using a VOM. I did a continuity test on
a factory made DB-25 to 36 pin Centeonics adapter cable to construct an
adaptor cable for my own use.
**************************************************************************
DISCLAIMER:
I have used the home made adaptor for 9 mos. trouble free. However, I
accept no liability for damages caused to person(s) or property that may
result from use of this diagram.
