Centronics is not just a connector to me. I visited them in 1981 in
Frankfurt to kind of present a printer to them, their own Centronics
737-2 that has been customized by us on their demand for additional
single-pin control. My more advanced colleagues did the customization
involving a Motorola Exorset development system IIRC while I just
wrote a demo client for a Pet / CBM computer. I guess I might have
shown them my demo program which produced various outputs, maybe with
an 8-needle pattern like
