Title: Printer cable for a 6128 needed
Post by: chrisgreen on 10:56, 29 May 18
Hi everyone


Does anyone know where I can source a printer cable please for a 6128 (edge connector printer port)?


Getting back into the CPC and bought a 6128 recently as a restoration project. Keen to hook up a printer to it so I can print things from Protext. I have a suitable Centronics Epson-compatible printer, but no cable. My last CPC was a 464 Plus, so had a normal 25-pin D printer port, so I've never had need to own the older 7-bit edge connector printer port cable.


Thanks
Chris

I have one laying around if you want it. It came with a 464 / DMP2000 combo but they are the same edge connector. I very much doubt I'll be word processing on an Amstrad any time soon... Although for a brief time I thought it may be "noticable" to update my CV and print it on continuous listing paper...


Anyway, I've snagged a picture of the lead I have from the web.


PM me if you're interested for the price of postage.
