I need to purchase a configurable parallel port (no serial, etc) to get
maximum speed feed to my second printer.  I am feeding an HP Laserjet
with the provided parallel port.  The system is running DOS software
under dosmerge and the switcher box I have can't handle the current
output.

The second printer is a Paintjet XL directly attached to the DOS running
in a Dell 486-33 using Dell UNIX.  The software baud rate limit is 9600.

Any ideas on a supplier for the port, a compact A-B switcher box, and or
some kind of buffer system for the switch box would be appreciated.
