Help!?
I'm trying to get a Tektronix 4692 to work with our Iris 4D/70G.
We purchased the parallel interface but we didn't get the cable, so
I'm trying to make one. I called the Hotline and recieved the following:
IBM Pin (DB25) Signal Printer Pin (Centronics)
1 Strobe 1
2 Data0 2
3 Data1 3
4 Data2 4
5 Data3 5
6 Data4 6
7 Data5 7
8 Data6 8
9 Data7 9
10 /Acknowledge 10
11 Busy 11
12 Paper End 12
13 Select 13
15 /Fault 32
16 Initiate 31
18 Ground 34
19 Ground 19
20 Ground 21
21 Ground 23
22 Ground 25
23 Ground 27
24 Ground 29
25 Ground 30
After one day they fax-ed us the above. We informed them that we
had a DB37 connector on the back of our IRIS labeled Parallel I/F and
what they gave use was for a DB25 connector. After 3 more days we received
the same information again only with the following headers:
4D20/IBM(DB25) Signal Name Printer Pin(Cent36)
We informed them that we had a 4D70g with a DB37 (again). The nice lady at
the other end said that the DB37 had the same connections.
I tried it, it didn't work!
Has anyone done this, if you have let me know.
