I am selling my standard parallel link for $8.75 CAN and the dual connect
parallel link (the one where you can hook up the printer as well as the
link to the parallel port) for $14.00 CAN. I do not charge any tax; the
tax for the parts have been included. The cable I was referring to was a
6' long cable (1.83 metres) that, instead of an extension type cord where
there is a 3.5mm jack -> 3.5mm socket, this is a cord with a 3.5mm jack ->
3.5mm jack. You will also need the 3.5mm socket -> 2.5mm jack converter,
but get it built into the cord if you can (3.5mm jack -> 2.5mm jack). This
is the format the link goes:
----| | |
com |--|-------------| | calc |
put | | | |________|
er | | parallel | 6.0ft ||2.5mm
| | link |=========++
LPTx| | |3.5mm
port|__|_____________|
____|
As you can see, the link hooks directly onto the parallel port, reducing
the need for an expensive computer cable when you can use a low-cost dual
3.5mm jack stereo cable. The dual connect parallel link is as follows:
----| | |
com |--|-------------| | printer |
put | | | |_______________|
er | | parallel | ||Centronics
| | link |=========++
LPTx| | |DB25 male
port|__|_____________|
____| ||3.5mm | calc |
|| |______|
|| 6.0ft ||
++===================++
I have not tested this format yet, but I will before I sell them. Thank
you for your questions and comments. If there is anything else I can help
you with, please feel free to e-mail me. The money-mailing address is:
