Hi!
I'm in urgent need of the printer port / cable layout of a PG685.

You probably wonder why, nicht wahr?
On Monday, I'm going to help a collegue, (a jungster) to get data out of an 675 floppy. I had to laugh, he had never seen such a thing before.
In the basement on my workplace, it exists a good old 685, and if I have twisted my brain correctly, I should be able to convert the floppy with the S5KONVER command. So far so good. Now my plan is to print the program from the printer port into a more convenient searchable text file via a 'modern' PC and Hyperterminal. I have done this before, but it is long (looong, long) since and my brain is obviously having a knowledge leakage, so I cannot recall how I did the connection, if I had to use the TTY output and if there had to be some latching to set the baud rate.

Thanks for your attention!

MfG
Kaputt

the PG685 printerport is a serial TTY (20mA) current loop. (for PT88 printers)
hyperterminal on PCs work with COM Port.
a COM Port can be
- a V24 (+/- 12 V)
- or a 20mA

baud rate on PG685 is set by soldering on SUB-D Pins.

you can plug in the pc a current loop card or you can use the PG-AG adapter (it is a V24 / TTY converter) need soldering work.

or you can convert the PG675 disc to PG685 file to PC file and then use a S5 PC program.

mybee, i have docs in my (hardware)folder "needless know how" from 1987 to 1993.

Eureka!

I found the manual for the PG670. I'm fairly sure that the printer port is the same as for the PG685.
Here is the link to the PG670 manual, in case there are other guys looking for the same as I:
