I know what you mean. I made a ParNet Cable once and it took me quite a
while and I almost ended up ruining it. I will buy them from now on if
possible.

Hopefully no sparks! <G> I'd ecpect not much except perhaps having to
reprint each document. The two computers are in adjacent so all that is
require is a shout that printing is taking place (currently we shout to
switch the switch-box).
>> my Amigas are (Ether-)networked
I'd love to have a ethernet but the cost isn't justified. I did have a
ParNet but I am paranoid about blowing my CIAs so I don't use it anymore
(as Amiga parts are more scarce these days).
Thanks for your comments.
