Jerry! AHA! I have had a very similar problem with my A2000 using an auto A/B switch. My IBM would do fine but the AMIGA would print gibberish. I swapped the cables around & IBM always worked thru the A side or the B side but A2000 = garbage. I hooked all my cables together to make a l-o-n-g cable to see if a weak signal was being damped by the switch. The AMIGA did fine!! I borrowed a manual switch; same problem! I tried my switch on a friend's A2000; worked perfectly?!! i gave up. Someone on this net said it was a weak signal. Who knows? It looks like I'll go for the Emplant 586 option someday. Good Luck! Tom
