Also, pin 12 must be +5v for port to operate. If printer doesn't need this line, connect pin 9 to pin 12. For most printers, the cable connections are as follows (from the P: R: Connection Manual): Atari 850 side (DB15P) Printer side (36-pin Centronics male) ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 11 16 12 32 13 11 15 9 Also from the P: R: Connection Manual, the connections for R1: and R2: (and presumably for R3: on the 850): Atari 850 side (DB9P) Modem Side (DB25P) -------------------------------- ------------------------------- 1 20 2 8 3 2 4 3 5 7 6 6 7 4 8 5 No connection to shield Frame to the shield wire The 850 manual also gives this hookup for R4: with a 20 mA loop device: Pin Function ----- ------------ 1 Send data + \_______ 20 mA 3 Send data - / 7 Receive Data + \______ 20 mA 9 Receive Data - /
