serial to parallel

[Charles Lord]

Gene's right, the circuit used a '1015 UART chip, but you have to
add 1488/89's, a 555 for clock, and a FF for the Centronics handshake.

The article showed how to put the chips together so that they work.
This oversimplification that is so prevalent today that you can
"just put it together like the databook shows" is a bunch of crap
in so many cases.  I had a client once that felt anything short
of a Cray-1 was a 'cookbook' design and should take no more than one
day to design/build/troubleshoot.  The fact is, find a working wheel
or else prepare to go through a painful process re-inventing your
own wheel.  Flame off.  This discussion belongs on a .ckts newsgroup..
