Hello, all:
One of my recent acquisitions is a Roytron paper tape punch/reader.
Before I actually got it, it had a v.35-to-DB25 cable on it . Now it
doesn't, of course.
I'm ignorant (about many things, but particularly) about v.35, so could
this have been an RS-232 adapter cable? If so, how could I make one?
It's not just a simple cable in a case like that. There would also be some
level-shifting electronics involved for at least the data leads because
V.35 is a differential interface.
I'm a little surprised to hear of a V.35 cable on something like a paper
tape handler. Are you sure the thing really does have a V.35 interface, and
that Roytron didn't just happen to use the same connector that V.35 devices
do?
