Impulse VD-1 frame buffer cable
« on: August 22, 2012, 04:16:27 PM »
Greetings All......

I've got an old Impulse Technologies VD-1 frame buffer for the Amiga that I'd like to fire up if possible.  I need to get the cable for it.  I believe that this was actually an Amiga parallel port cable.  I don't think there were any modifications.  Is there still a source for these ?

If you're talking about A2000/500 and later parallel port cables, these were just regular PC parallel port cables, which can be found almost anywhere online or in thrift shops for a few bucks.

If you mean an A1000 parallel port, then it might need a gender bender.  I don't remember, but some of the A1000 ports were of opposite gender to standard, but electrically the same.
