I have a couple of Amiga 1000 computers and an Amiga 3000.  A friend of mine
who has ParNet working successfully came by this weekend, and we tried to
get ParNet to work on the 3000/1000 (since my 1000 has no hard drive.)
We did the cable cutting, soldering and everything, and set everything up as
described, but after much time, we still could not get the net: device to
work as it should; it would just hang, and at best give a requester that
says that there is a network error.  We feel confident that all the software
is set up correctly, but I am curious about the parallel interface of the
Amiga 1000.  The reason is mainly because of the evident differences with
other hardware configurations (such as my printer and my Perfect Sound
digitizer) which require different pin configurations than do the 500/2000/3000.

Do I need to do something additional to get the ParNet software to work with
such a configuration?

Please send responses (or flames) via mail,
