My brother has a 512K Mac with a MacBottom hard disk, which plugs into
the printer port on his Mac. This means that he plugs his printer into
the modem port, and he has to use a ChoosePrinter DA to switch the 
printer port.

	Does anybody out there know of a way to make the modem port come
up as the printer connection by default upon booting? I told my brother
that I suspected that there was a small patch that could be made to the
printer driver that would do this, but I don't know what it is. Can
anybody help me?

	Alternatively - can he hook the MacBottom to the modem port instead?
I forgot to ask him that question, but I'm assuming he would have a good
reason why that won't work.

	Thanks in advance -
