I need some help. I have a DCTV and an AlfaScan-Plus hand scanner that I can't get to work. Both appear to work fine but I can't capture anything. When either one is connected to my A3000, the software acts like it is receiving, but comes up empty. Any utilities I can get to check my parallel port or any suggestions as to the problem will be greatly appreciated. Thanx. DeRon..*

Deron, does your printer work when connected to the parallel port? If not, you may have blown a CIA chip. Ray

The printer works fine, in fact anything I connect works fine for output. It's just that nothing seems to be able to come the other way. Any guesses? DeRon..*

Still might be a blown CIA chip, I would replace them both and see if that fixes it. Ray
