Yes--and IIRC, it used a 50-conductor connection as well. We had some

printer (a strange, very loud beast) that used the DP interface. (ISTR
that it also used three Rockwell PPS-8s). Memory grows dim with each

Was a Dataproducts interface ever offered for the
MX-80? Back in
the day, it was almost as popular as Centronics on mid-sized
systems.
Was that the one that was fairly similar to Centronics but with some
signals inverted?
