I got several responses (I'm sorry I didn't respond to all of them). Several
of them seemed to be talking about a SPARCprinter using a parallel interface
and how to extend that up to 80 or 90 feet. Unless I'm misinterpreting
things, the one that applies to the SBus <--> SPARCprinter cable length goes
like this:
We use a 10 meter cable.
SunExpress:
SPARCprinter Cable SBus Card to SPARCprinter (10m), PartNo 370-1365
SPARCprinter Cable SBus Card to SPARCprinter (5m), PartNo 370-1680
Send me email if you would like a more complete summary of all the
responses.
