And I have a weird printer with a not-quite-standard Centronics port hooked up and turned off. (I had to alter a standard cable to make it work... anybody know why Tandy would output +5VDC on what is SUPPOSED to be a ground? It's a Tandy DWP-230 that I've got emulating an IBM Wheelwriter - Tandy mode was buggy.) I think this might do it; I'll check it out tonight.
