I have a Q-Bus printer interface card. This is a Datasystems DLP-1100.
It's a dual width card which mostly consists of standard TTL and LS
series TTL parts. There is a 34 pin male socket (for a ribbon cable
that goes to the cab kit?) an "off self test"/"on" toggle switch, and
there are three DIP switch banks with 8 switches on each.
VMS seems to think that it is an LP-11. Apparently there is no support
for this thing in NetBSD. Now I have a few questions:
- Is this really an LP-11 clone?
- Does it have a standard paralel interface that can be used to connect
to any printer?
- What's the pinout of that 34 pin connector? (I may need to construct a
cab kit.)
- Are there any programming docs and/or examples for this?
