exactly sure where to ask
about this... Anyone know anything about the Intellicom Mega-Link four port
buffer? Four buttons and six LED's on the front, a row of eight 256k RAM
chips and three rows of sockets for more RAM, and the three DB-25 and a
36-pin centronics connector on the back. Any ideas on how to hook it up?
I'm gessing there was either a special cable for it(centronics to serial
port) or maybe it was designed to attach to a serial port card or
something...
Sounds like a printer buffer/share device. Many used to be used to share
a printer using the mode command to change your printer to a serial port
and then when you printed - it stored it if someone else was already using
the printer. Some used buttons and some used special codes to switch the
active input port.
