Title: Centronics Printer Port
Post by: A1200Power on April 02, 2006, 05:28:12 PM

Hi Guys,

I have got myself an old Hp Deskjet 500 printer for the amiga. I was gonna plan to use it with Turbo Print, still is good enough for me.

Though i can remember that there was a problem when connecting a pinter to the amiga, it cause's one of the two CIA's to blow up.

So does anyone rembember what wire to cut. (had something to do with the +5 volt)
