***** MODIFICATIONS To use a 5600 as a slave device it has to somewhat modified. This has to be done on a 5600 (art no 16144 R2) to automatically set it to parallel port boot mode: 1) Close to the LPT1 connector there are two resistors, between the "Pulse" inductor and the LS245. The one closest to the LS245 is a 4k7 pull up (R105). Remove it. 2) Between the other "Pulse" inductor and Etrax there is a black 5-pin inverter (D15). Short connectors 2 and 3 with a solder blob. ***** PINOUT To use this driver use cables connected like this: DSUB25-Male DSUB25Male 1 10 2-9 2-9 10 1 11 14 12 18 13 NC 14 11 15 NC 16 NC 17 NC 18 12 19 NC 20-25 20-25 Thus the cables are symmetrical with most cables straight through, some crossed (1-10, 11-14 and 12-18) and some Not connected (NC 13,15,16,17 and 19). ******* Only for reference To ease the use of flat-cable connectors, here are the notes of wich wires to cross and cut with pin 1 being cable 1: Cross: 1 19 2 21 10 23 Cut: 4 6 8 12 25 jonas.dellenvall@axis.com
