Anyone have trouble blowing their parallel port with a DigiView?  I have an old
DigiView (tm) with their genderbender plugged into my A2000.  'way back I blew
the port with it, and I felt it happened when I power cycled the machine.  Ever
since (after replacing the 8520), I carefully ground the connector shield, then
plug it in AFTER both the camera and A2000 are on, and unplug it before turning
the camera off.  Since I almost never turn my Amiga off, this setup has worked
for the past 6 months.  This weekend, I power cycled my machine to mess with a
hard disk.  Unfortunately, I forgot to pull the DigiView before I did this.
Later when I tried to digitize a picture, I received the classic "No video
signal present."
