Martin,
<Have you ever experienced any problems with your CIA chips as a result of your
ParNet connection? I understand that this is a concern, especially if you are
using a switch box in conjunction with a parallel printer.>
A while ago I thought I'd have to use a switchbox for something on my
computer and was concerned about that very thing. I looked into getting a
quality switchbox (one that will break the connection before making the other
one) but they wound up being VERY expensive. Our solution was to buy an
A/B/C/D switchbox and put peripheral #1 on the A switch and peripheral #2 on
the D switch. This way one is SURE that the connection is completely broken
from one to the other.
I never did have to use the box, but I'm sure it would be safer than an A/B
switch.
