   Rejected and dejected... [Fanuc IC647WMI

   I am findting no love [documentation-wise] on the Fanuc Parallel   
   Interface adapter, IC647WMI620 / WS6AI.   
      
   Mike Lycett sendt me feelthy-feely images of the -620 daughtercard and   
   main card, there is a pair of 8-bit bitslicers on it, 29 tiny SOC fuses,   
   and seven [IIRC] 16 pin diode DIPs [8x diode per device]. Some SIMMple   
   discrete logic, 11 SIPP resistor networks...   
      
   I have no idea of what flavor of parallel we have, that is a helluva lot   
   of protection for a lowly printer port. There is ZEERO discrete parallel   
   controller on the daughter -OR- base card. It has two eight position DIP   
   switches with NO legend. On an MCA card.   
      
   My spidey senses tingle with visions of RS-485 configuration akin to the   
   OPTO-22 brain boards. My SWAG those set the address and termination for   
   a multi-drop RS-485, and I wandt nothing with flipping those switches to   
   all 16 squared combinations.
