<p>
The <a href="http://www.rwapadventures.com/ql_wiki/index.php?title=CST">CST</a> Q-PI interface was a parallel printer interface card which plugged into the QL's main expansion interface. As it was a dead-end device (no through port), it could only be used with interfaces such as memory cards which had a through port.
</p>
<p>
Released in 1985 at a price of £86.25 (£50 plus VAT), the Q-PI Interface performed well enough in its day as a parallel printer connection system, though these were quickly superceded by serial-parallel converter devices by other companies, as it was impossible to use a disk interface with the Q-&Pi; due to the lack of through port.
</p>
<p>
Oddly, the parallel port uses an IDC-34 way connector, rather than a standard 25 pin DB connector. We have not come across the correct lead to use this interface. The cable was an additional £11.50 on top of the price of the interface!
</p>
<p>
No manual - simply use OPEN #3,par: PRINT #3, 'Hello World': CLOSE #3
</p>
<p>
It also adds the command DUMP_SCR to send a screen dump to a printer (presumably EPSON compatible).
