I have one of these things in the basement. It looks like it has a
parallel port (Centronics) and a serial port on it. It also has 'COPY'
and 'SEL' membrane style buttons on front, and a what looks like a
really weird connector with 10 pins arranged in a 'star like'
configuration on the end of a cable that is directly attached.
From my searching I'm guessing this is a parallel to serial (or
vice-versa) converter marketed by Brother for it's printers. Does
anybody have more details?
Pictures are up on eBay at the moment - there is a recent auction. Item
number is 360028045061 .
Thanks,
Mike
