Re: VIAtronics v.1.0
Hi Mathy,
There is designed as Centronics and for any other user experiments so it should be simplest . I've plan to add buffer dedicated only for printers maybe next major release.

Re: Diode an SIO2PC?
Hi,
It's looks like problem with voltages level when only Atari is powered. This issue is know according to SIO2SD or SDRIVEMAX. The solution is use simple buffer like mentioned on:

I hope it's helpfully
