    ImageWriter II 32K buffer card cloning project

    @NJRoadfan I have an almost complete circuit desing, Is there a mention about the address space somewhere? since the ram chip have 15 address lines and the data bus transmit twice at 8 bit width I'm not sure if I drop the first or the last bit, I would guess the first since it must be used to...

    ImageWriter II 32K buffer card cloning project

    Yes it's the same photo that let me assume it would be reasonably simple to copy I might try to use the printer with a computer that have a built in serial port, the adapter I made is based on this pinout from the manual, DIP switch like you said and driver configured with flow control, maybe...

    ImageWriter II 32K buffer card cloning project

    The support for spooling across a RS232 to USB adapter and the printer driver itself is very bad, I can't exactly blame the linux devs to not support this 30 years old printer haha so I never got it to work, I can slow down the communication baud rate to almost the minimum but then the printer...

    ImageWriter II 32K buffer card cloning project

    Thanks :) @Paralel Would you have a photo of the back too? And could you confirm the inscription on U5? It confirm to me that 3-10 are data lines, I suspect most of the pins upper of 13-15 is only for more advanced functions like local talk, 1-2 +VCC and 25-26 GND. U4 is a programmable array...

    ImageWriter II 32K buffer card cloning project

    Hi, I'm currently using an old ImageWriter II on my machine to print small sized envelope, I find it very convenient since it doesn't have strict paper size limitation! My problem is, mine doesn't have a buffer card, I use it via a serial adapter at very low baud rate to avoid filling the...
