- HELP! I have a problem that maybe someone has an idea on how to help me.
-
- I have a Tandy 1000TX (OK, I know it's terrible, but I'm a starving college
- student, and I'm stuck with it until I graduate), and I just bought a new
- bubble jet printer to use with it. However, I don't want to waste the ink
- cartridge on normal printing, so I want to use my old dot matrix printer
- also. My solution ... use an A/B switch. Now the problem ... the 1000TX
- uses some sort of edge card for a printer output rather than a DB25 port. I
- can't find any cable, other that one with this edge card connector on one
- end, and a Centronix 36 connector on the other. The A/B switches I have
- found need a DB25 connector for the input.
-
- Anyone have any ideas? I know this sounds sort of confusing, but it's about
- to really p*ss me off! If anyone knows where I can get an A/B switch with a
- Centronix 36 connector as an input, I would really like to know. Let me
- know if you can think of any other solutions.
