Does anyone have a data cable for a TRS-80 Line Printer II? I want to use
it with the TRS-80 Model III, but don't have the cable. I've checked with
Is that the standard Model 3 printer cable? 34 pin card edge connector ->
36 pin Amphenol plug? If so, then it's very easy to make one. All you
need is an 34 pin IDC
edge connector, a 36 pin IDC 'Centronics' Amphenol plug and a suitable
length (2m, say) of 34 pin IDC cable.
Just crimp the connectors onto the cable, leaving the 2 end pins
(furthest from pin 1) of the Amphenol plug unconnected. Use the striped
edge of the cable for pin 1.
I can't remeber which pin on the model 3 is pin 1, alas. You may have to
plug the edge connector in boths ways round until it works. Shouldn't do
any damage if you get it wrong.
