to front panel keys. However, nothing is emitted onto 232. The D25 - D-9 transition has all the RTS/CTS and DSR/DTR/DCD lines knitted appropriately and indicating 'correctly' on blinkenlites. I don't know anything about that specific setup, nor anaything aabout your personal expertise. When

Re: Fanuc PPR - Paper Tape Punch, Printer and Reader : Not quite working

Hi Martin, do you have an RS232 light box like this one? RS232 Breakout Tester LED Monitor, DB9 Male to Female Breakout Module https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CDQ76Q8/ I am so confused why you are not seeing anything, I have had 3 PPRs (2 bartered away) and never had any issues except a broken punch

RE: Fanuc PPR - Paper Tape Punch, Printer and Reader : Not quite working

Bill Thanks for the offer of the DosTek 440a. However, my problem is getting the 232 output to wiggle a CRO not to input and log the serial data. Fanuc manuals 1788.pdf, on VintageComputer.net, looks as though it contains more detail than the PPR and System P manuals and may reward study. Mar

RE: Fanuc PPR - Paper Tape Punch, Printer and Reader : Not quite working

Eric Thank you for the manual and the suggestion of pulling all the jumpers. With all but jumper 1 out, it punches and remote starts (Xon) the reader at 4800 8N1; unchanged functionality. However, still, nothing is emitted from the 232 for consumption by Putty. Unfortunately, the SystemP man

I'm thinking about going up to VCF in Wall next weekend. I haven't been to it since it was the Trenton Computer Fest (think late 1990's) so I'm not sure what the protocol is on tailgating, trading stuff or whatnot. Appears that they have a "sale room" you drop things off in with prices. Ok

http://vtda.org/docs/computing/FANUC/B-54111E-02_FANUC_System_P_Model_G_Operators_1983.pdf Here you are, I knew I scanned the manual. This has all the jumper settings, and instructions on local vs remote modes. -Eric On Sat, Apr 9, 2022, 5:50 PM Eric Moore wrote: > Hi Martin, I use the PPR f

Re: Fanuc PPR - Paper Tape Punch, Printer and Reader : Not quite working

Hi Martin, I use the PPR for all kinds of paper tape shennanigans. https://youtu.be/hGr0F9a7x1A Remove all but the first jumper, and that may help with your issues. I found at one point the jumper settings, but will need to search. -Eric On Sat, Apr 9, 2022, 4:56 PM Martin Bishop via cctalk

Fanuc PPR - Paper Tape Punch, Printer and Reader : Not quite working

A nicely made yellow box with a rather poor manual - both lost in translation and limited in scope. Working on setting one to work, but can't get anything out of the serial port. In drives the punch, and the punched data verifies (based on a QL). In also drives the printer, although somewhat

You wouldn’t be able to put TK-70 drives in this, wrong interface. I don’t know if DEC DLT drives capable of reading TK50’s and TK70’s will work in one. We only used DLT III and DLT IV tapes in them. We first got one of these something like 25 years ago. The earliest ones are rock solid, rea
