A -5 meter parallel port cable might be too long for reliable operation.
Check with Mesa on length and the proper cable to use. 2-3 meters might
be max.


Yes, a longer RS-422 link is preferable to a long parallel cable
Since the parallel cable has single ended signals and is more succeptable to EMI/ground loops

Thanks for that.

I think I will put the computer in the front panel and 7i76 in the back
control box with rest of stuff.  So I'll need a 4-5 meter parallel port
cable to connect between the two.  Has anyone made their own DB25 parallel
port cables?  It doesn't sound too hard.  Just need some suitable cable and
the plugs

I will have about 15 input switches I think.  Eg cycle start, e stop,

else I forget.
The 7i73 supports matrix keyboards up to 8x8 (64 keys). Bear in mind
that a keyboard can be wired as a matrix but not actually be arranged
as a matrix.
ie, logical position need not match physical position.
