The ones which I can identify from the docs are a
female DIN connector for
tape i/o and a female DB25 for serial i/o. The docs also describe the
parallel port as a 34-pin card-edge connector (which I suppose needs a
Tandy-specific cable to attach to a printer),
IIRC, #26-1401 It is basically straight through, and can be made by
crimping a card-edge connector on one end of ribbon cable, and a
"centronics" amphenol connector on the other. Sorry, but I don't remember
which direction to offset the cable (for the 34 v 36)
but the problem is that there
are *two* of these 34-pin connectors on the rear of the system,
The other 34 pin is for external floppies. It should be possible to
identify which 34 is which by proximity to the disk controller.
as well as
a 50-pin card-edge connector.
"expansion bus" On the model 1 it was 40 pin. Did they change to 50 on
the 3?
Can anyone familiar with this system help me out with
details regarding
these connectors?
I'm going from memory. It's been more than 5 years since I TRS-80'd.
