AST RESEARCH TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0163 4-24-86

ADVANTAGE PARALLEL PORT
|
||
|
||
|
||
AST Advantage! users have reported interfacing problems between
|
||
the Advantage! parallel port and certain printers. The symptom
|
||
is no output to the printer when connected to the AST Advantage!
|
||
parallel port.
|
||
|
||
The problem is an incompatibility between the parallel port
|
||
STROBE output circuit of the AST Advantage! and the printer's
|
||
STROBE input circuit.
|
||
|
||
To resolve this incompatibility the IC 74LS05 located at position
|
||
U89 should be replaced with a 7405. This needs to be done to
|
||
insure proper operation. The AST Advantage! board should be
|
||
returned to AST Research for proper rework.
|
||
|
||
If the customer's situation does not allow for the return of the
|
||
product to AST for rework, please see detailed instructions of
|
||
this rework in AST FCN number 008.
