There's still one minor problem unrelated to the wiring, and that's that the Executive's BIOS times out occasionally when the printer is busy and thinking that it's nonexistent asks if you want to deassign it. Answering "no" lets you continue just fine, but this is a nuisance because it occurs quite often with my slow letter-quality printer. The timeout delay should be patchable, but I haven't looked enough to find it yet. Thanks, Ron -------
