 ====== DOWNSWAY Electronics RS232 to Centronics converter ======
The DOWNSWAY Electronics RS232 to Centronics converter was another serial to parallel printer interface.


As with the [[qlwiki:Care Electronics Printer Interface]], this version had an adjustable baud rate (default was 9600 baud) which was a useful innovation, as (without [[qlwiki:Minerva]] and [[qlwiki:SuperHERMES]]), both of the QL's serial ports operate at the same baud rate, meaning that you could not easily use a printer at the same time as other serial equipment (such as a modem).


Unusually, the interface also supported 19200 baud for fast printers.
