I thought I did, but what I have is the HP 12845B Line Printer interface
card, for which I could find the documentation. Unfortunately, looking at
the schematics, it does not seem to be based on a 12566B interface. Reading
some more, it is meant for the 2607/261x series of printers, which

Not quite - the $5 Zero is single-core. You have to go to a Pi2 or
Pi3 to get multi-core.

The LP20 is just the printer interface. It looks exactly the same whether

Hi folks.
I'm new here, but some of you will know me from the VCF forums, where
I go by roberttx.
I've recently picked up a 5110 (BASIC only), along with a 5114 floppy
drive and a 5103 printer. It has all the mandatory cards, but no
optional ones.
It powers on, completes its self test and gets t

Not super-fast; 168 MHz clock, but fast enough and 5V tolerant I/Os.

That's the scheme I have in mind for making a Pertec interface one of these
days

Nice job. I viewed SPOCK, MOON, ASTRONAUT.

For those interested in viewing those line printer files but without a
suitable printer I have hacked together a small Java program for viewing and
exporting the files. Nothing great, but it does the job. Try SMALLCAT
first.
