Probably you'd need two cables – the EPSON uses a rather peculiar
electrical protocol, so you'd need a specific cable for the Amiga, and
(probably) another for the MSDOS machine. We explain in the scanner
porytion of the R/t docs how to modify a standard vanilla parallel cable
to do the job – so you can get a fiarly inexpensive one from any cable
shop or even radio shack or the like if you're willing to move two wires
and cut two others. We can provide them too, but you pay a lot of overhead
to have Dave wire the cable. :^) The PC side I'd guess would be a similar
job, although the scanner _may_ come with a PC cable… but I'm guessing.
