I am using a three-way switchbox to allow sharing my (Canon) printer between my 2000 and BridgeBoard (I use a multi i/o card parallel port instead of software control of the standard Amiga parallel port from the BridgeBoard). Because of the experiences of others which I have read about here, I made sure (checked with ohmmeter) that each and every terminal of the switch is "break before make" so that the connection to one parallel port is opened before closing the connection to the other…this avoids shorting the two parallel ports together with the printer's port. I also turn off the printer before switching. //daniel on autopilot in paradise \X/ powered by intel and motorola
