alphacom 422 or atari 822 40 column printer

[+rockdoc2010]

just bought an alpacom and i am in need of a schematic for the atari interface cable. I know it goes thru the 850 but 822's are none to be had.

 

Beuler Bueler Bueler??

 

ANY 822 for sale?

The information necessary to build your own 850 to Centronics printer port cable is available at Atarimania, bottom of the linked page. Atari seems to have tried to keep the cable simple, of the 12 needed connections pins 1 thru 8 connect straight through.

Thanks Bill but its not a cable issue.. mabye.. I dont have a clue as to the "Atari Interface cartridge" that plugs into the alpha com 422

No that wasn't me.

 

You refunded for a missing gear tooth?

 

I'll take that printer.

no I bought and alphacom 422 and when I fired it up in test mode it had paper advance issues. What i NEED is an atari 822! and an atari unterface cable for the alphacom.. I can live with a bad tooth(I got it for free).. but there is a long wide cartridge that inserts into the back of the alphacom that allows the unit to talk with the atari (850 i think)..

 

its a schematic issue.. i can do any wiring needed but if the cartridge has a chip I am not looking good

No I sold an 822 on Ebay last week
