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. –Ben …via AutoPilot
