Here is a pinout for making a cable to connect an M8027 module to a standard Centronics 36 pin connector. We have used this cable on many of our in-house RT-11 systems and Epson-style printers. In addition to being a DEC dealer, we are a hobbyist in the areas of RT-11, OpenVMS, Oregon Software Pascal-2. Thanks. Mitch Miller Keyways, Inc.
