You sure it wasn't the one you took out of your model t?

hey folks,
Hope everyone is having a nice spring (in the northern half of the world
anyways!).
I've been working my way through my stacks of modelTs and as I fix'em I
periodically need to get some parts. Planning to sell some of them. I
have so many of them.
I'm in need of a timer chip, the uPD1
Hi Brian , I actually share some of your concerns about my choice of a
(partially) metallic centronics ; but what made my decision is that the actual
original Tandy cable had a metallic centronics connector so I basically made
the same. The original was just grey but I went for rainbow because w
Small note about the centronics connector: Metal centronics is not
necessarily better in this case. Since this is originally supposed to be
a portable computer, the accessories also ideally want to be portable,
and there are a few different features that make that a little more or
less optimal.
Thanks, It's indeed related to my DIP switch "SLCT IN" Now I'm able to print,
the carriage return is replaced by an uppercase "angstrom" sign but it's a good
start By the way, in case anyone is interested, I was forced to order stuff "5
times" for my printer cables, so I'm gonna make 4 more DIP2

Epson mode will likely set the printer to use Esc-P control codes, and IBM mode
check pin 25; I think if the input from the printer is low you will be
unable to print and the laptop will "freeze".

btw Cedric, were you able to snap that PCB pic I was asking about? thanks!

Hello everyone I just finished my IDC 26 to centronics cable trying to print
from my M102 I'm printing on a 1985 Brother HL1109 so that should be period
accurate Nothing happens if I hit "print", the M102 freezes and I have to
"reset". I read on some TRS80 related documentation that there are PO
