    I remember seeing this a while ago, and my memory was jogged when reading this thread about Timex / Sinclair printers on the ZX World forums.

    in the 80s we used an interfaker to connect parallel ports to a serial port to capture data from cpm and non dos computers that otherwise could not transfer data to a pc.

        i've only ever seen them twice. one my boss had and 1 on site at a engineers office.

        one of those obscure pieces of hardware around before the internet and apart from a few photos on auction sites doesn't exist online.
