Hmmmmm ... MicroBotics advertises that the parallel port "is duplicated for
simultaneous use with your printer".

I always assumed they had some kind of "pass-thru" for the parallel port's
signals.  Is this:

	1. not correct
	2. correct, but it doesn't work
	3. they don't pass/replicate *all* the signals (like +5v)

If #3, then couldn't you provide a small interface connector to supply waht's
missing (again, assuming it's only things like +5v)?

Just curious ... I've often wondered how their "daisy-chaining" works.
