This may not be the correct place to ask but...
I'm trying to connect a dot-matrix printer to my Sun Sparc 1+
through a parallel connection. Unfortunatley there are THREE
female 25-way d connectors on the back - one marked A, another
B and one unmarked! I would guess that two are serial and
one is parallel, but I have no manuals and no-one at work can
help, so can anyone help with this? I don't want to send 12V
serial signals to a 5v parallel printer!

Cheers,
   Dominic (who is used to nice friendly Amigas with different
            connectors on the back!)
