	Has anyone succeeded in getting files transferred *over the
parallel ports* from an IBM-PC to the Amiga using the convert and the
read programs? I can get it to work over the serial ports but not over
the parallel ports!
	I constructed a DB-25(male)-to-DB-25(female) cable, being
careful to delete the connection to pins 14,15,16,17,23,24 & 25 to
prevent damaging either machine. In fact, the cable as built *does*
successfully act as an IBM-PC-to-printer extension cable, so I'm pretty
sure all the required "stuff" is there (gads I love this technical
talk!).
	Anyway, if you've succeeded in using the parallel ports to
transfer files from IBM-PC to Amiga please let me in on the secret...
