Re: [M100] TPDD2 Data cable pinout?

OK, after studying the circuits and looking at the notes from Marty Goodman, I *think* I understand what the TPDD2 cable actually does. I'll have to build up a circuit to test, but I do believe I understand the point of the components on the circuit board on the cable are doing. According to the

Re: [M100] TPDD2 Data cable pinout?

I'm pretty sure you can buy those connectors. There was a lady I talked to a long time ago who had built her own replacement cables for connecting knitting machine to Brother FB100 and IIRC they didn't look kludged. -- John.

[M100] TPDD2 Data cable pinout?

I don't really remember but I don't think anything happens when you turn on the drive. It just sits there. Ron Wiesen may be able to help you... I have a vague recollection of some short BASIC code to send a test command and get a response. I know I've seen it and I thought it was Ron's. You

Re: [M100] TPDD2 Data cable pinout?

That's useful, and I must confess I was looking at the wrong part of the schematic! ;) I suspected that it must not be a straight through cable, because that would be too easy. From his description it sounds like he ran across three transistors, SOT-23 packages I'm guessing. According to a cross

Re: [M100] TPDD2 Data cable pinout?

Yep, that makes sense. The inputs to the TPDD should already take care of this on the input side... they are clamped to the Voutput low/high of the buffer. On the flipside, the outputs on the TPDD have diode protection to prevent damage if something is mis-wired, but no way to generate the normal

Re: [M100] TPDD2 Data cable pinout?

Sorry I looked the body of the email over and couldn't find it then after sending I saw the info in the subject line. But I have not heard of any one successfully reverse engineering one if these. It spears to have "extras" in the cable. Sorry. On Monday, January 11, 2016, Geoff Oltmans
