Hi All:

Is there anyone out there who might have a copy of the
MVME410 users' manual?  I've spoken to my local MOTO
sales office but they say its too old for them to
have records on.

Even a poor copy is better than no info at all.

Worst comes to worst, does anyone know the parallel
port pinouts?

Thanks in advance

Rick, sorry!  Some offices still have that manual, but someone took our
file copy in your local office and failed to return it.  Rather than
calling all over the country to find someone willing to stand at the Xerox
machine, here's your pinout:

Connector J1
Pin	Signal	Descr
1	PXCB2	INPUT PRIME low lvl output, clears print buffer and inits dvc
3	GND	
5	PXCB1	FAULT - low lvl in; paper empty, deselect, etc.
7,41,45,49	Reserved
9	PXPB7	
11	PXPB6	
13	PXPB5	
15	PXPB4	
17	PXPB3	
19	PXPB2	BUSY - input indicating printer cannot rcv data
21	PXPB1	OUT OF PAPER - hi lvl in
24	PXPB0	SELECT - hi lvl in
25	PXPA7	PD8 data out from PA7
27	PXPA6	PD7
29	PXPA5	PD6
31	PXPA4	PD5
33	PXPA3	PD4
35	PXPA2	PD3
37	PXPA1	PD2
39	PXPA0	PD1
43	PXCA2	DATA STROBE - output clocks data, active lo, 1 us wide
47	PXCA1	ACK - low lvl in, indicates character ready or end of op'n
8		No connect
All other evens	Ground

Note that the descriptions are based upon use of the parallel pins to
drive a Centronix-style printer port.  Based on the above and a simple
program to play with the PIA, you should be able to nail down everything
pretty simply.  The pinouts on the other connector are the same, but,
obviously, attached to the other PIA.
