enthusiasts arent as big a share of the overall market as they often think. Mostly these big auctions encourage the rich man cave types who aren't the slighted bit interested in the workings of it.. they just want "a cool game". its more likely to generate repair work than new sales.

the indy thing was 100% licensing related mate.. ask ben about it? i think thats who told me the story. if only it wasnt the tinman hey

williams pokerino !

i put serial cards in all the microlines I installed.. ( mostly the very nice 184) i have still never seen a printer with DB25 not C36. it really doesnt matter though. IEEE-1284A defines the plug not the cable.. i wanted to make sure it wasnt somehting odd like a laplink style cable...

so it is a straight extension .. cheers mate im sorted now doug

its weird ive never seen this "standard" and cant find a pinout for it online. every parallel printer cable i ever used was db25-c36 (the one you call the older one) can you suggest a pinout beyond straight through? or is that all there is to it?

would anyone with an advin systems pilot u84plus programmer be able to confim the pinout of the cable? the manual says parallel, the boxes say db25 M-F ? is it just a 1:1 extension cable? or some custom pinout? thanks

also make sure he knows how to measure AC.. i have seen more than one person rip one out because they measure the 69VAC using one leg and ground ( which gets about 25V) and then think its faulty because its "low"

i dont know.. i wanted you to school me on what it is. ive found the pong schematic and will fix it up either way

Anyone know what this is (apparently PONG?) pcb is? obviously missing some power components but im not sure if its worth putting back together. one of the pong bootlegs?

it almost seems wrong to open the box and use them up

Its sawdust hah maybe it’s been moonlighting as a lumberjack ? update - got one..

on the hunt for a fluke 9010a or similar.. I saved my little friend here from a box of surplus rubbish where he had been sitting for several years but he now needs a new robot overlord to help put him back to his mission

not sure you need a "vertical" one .. pretty sure you just configure it as vertical on setup
