Asha, I purchased and installed an ABCD switcher today and couldn't remember where I heard the suggestion, your reply rings a bell. I believe it was your posting about a week ago. So far I haven't had the courage to switch from A to D with the power on even though logically I would think there is a complete break in the circuit and the printer and/or the Parnet cable "thinks" it is being switched on/off in the normal fashion. In any case, the switcher is a huge improvement over exchanging plugs in and out of the parallel port and I thank you for your suggestion. Ami-Link has been suggested, but $300 for the most basic set-up is a pretty heavy investment for my purposes. Al Berman A.C.E.S. Amiga Computer Enthusiasts Southwest, Ct.
