I've got this vintage #Centronics to #Atari #SIO connector. The last time I tried it (last year sometime), I could LPRINT a line from BASIC, but line endings weren't correctly interpreted. (Unsurprising; Atari uses $9B as its line ending.)
Coming back to it today to see if the adapter was configured to interpret line endings correctly, I mostly got timeout errors in BASIC and twice only, some garbage, while trying to print.
(Printing via the parallel port on a Thinkpad 760CD running Windows NT4 works perfectly. So it's not the printer.)
Any tips on how to proceed further with troubleshooting this connector?
