This converter may help if just the serial port on a personal computer is free, whereas the printer needs a parallel (Centronics) port. It converts a serial 2400 baud signal into a parallel signal.

Way back in the day, analog/digital converters (ADCs) had simple, parallel interfaces, either TTL or high-level CMOS. Many of these converters could be clocked down to zero samples/second: once you ...

I have a microfiche reader that has a parallel output that connects directly to a Canon FilePrint 400 printer.<BR><BR>I would like to instead route this output to a computer, and essentially "scan" to ...

This is just a general question. I know, obviously, that there are RS-232 "serial ports" and IEEE 1284/Centronix ports "parallel ports," and that these are "digital" connections. Then you have things ...
