I've looked at that manual before posting,
and it does not have much
to work out from. All the names of the signals are different.
Ready is inverted between the two, I think. Both have the same basic
data transfer signals. Dataproducts has forms handling stuff that's
not in centronics.
the LPV-11 was a upgrade and improved LAV-11. The LPV-11 has jumpers to
handle things like parity, polarity of strobe to mention a few. All the
manuals I have show the jumpers but do not give pinouts..
You should be able to compare what's in the LPV11
manual to these and
work out which are which. Then figure out the pin numbering schemes
used in the LPV11 manual.
They use an identical connector. TO sort out how to make a foreign cable
you really need the printset for it. Either that or wire a DLV-11 serial
card and use that to drive a serial interface printer.
