Jeff, The pinouts I was referring to are the ones for the CPU to which your cable would have been attached. I see that pin 14 is Auto-feed , which means that the printer follows the IBM convention of using pin 14 to add a linefeed. This one should be cut, as the Amiga is smart enough to send line feeds if it needs them. Pins 31 and 32 I don't know abou, and since the parallel port is only 25 pins, it's hard to say where they are connected. The +5V on pin 18 should also be disconnected. Are all pins numbered 25 and below connected to the same number on the Amiga end? Regards, Larry.
