+acadiel Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 You'd need a copy of the PAL coding to do a board run of these. . .And DBT locked those too. Someone would have to figure out the logic from the PCB, or decap the PAL and fix the fuse so it can be read.

sparkdrummer Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Even stranger. attaches to the expansion port and requires some sort of power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I have one of those. I probably need to scan the manual for it, since I haven't seen that one posted anywhere. It uses the same cable as the other DBT cartridges with print capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Flottman, it's pretty tough to tell exactly where each of those lines is going. Do you happen to have a meter to ohm out the pins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOME AUTOMATION Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Looks like line 1 goes to pin 1, then they are all in order until pin 12. 13,14,15 Not connected. line 16 to pin 16 line 18 to pin 18.

Opry99er Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 That is a good picture there. Thank you! What about the other end of the cable? Can we get a great picture like that one of the cartridge end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Oh okay, I see. It's crimped in-line. Nevermind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flottmann1 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 soldered on the top row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 And that makes a lot of sense, based on what I saw when I did the schematic for this board a while back. I'll have to add a page with the cable pin-out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 One would assume that the Paraprint cartridge I had uploaded images of would have the same cable setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It does. All of the DBT boards used the same parallel scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+acadiel Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Thanks for the pictures, Flottmann! I just purchased one of these... will put one of these on the end in place of the IDC connector, and I will be in business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+acadiel Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I made one. It works! Since I only had IDC connections, I had to use a PCB to bridge the connections, as they go in a different order on the IDC Centronics connector. (1, 19, 2, 20, etc). Note that pin 1 on the edge connector is on the right side of the Miniwriter cart. Also note the ribbon on the Centronics side is backward. Pin 1 is not the red stripe. Oh well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+acadiel Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I think it's in post #29(ish). Yep, that’s II. I wonder what the differences are with III and III+? Jim, have any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
