[comp.sys.amiga] Switching AB boxes w/ power on

jhc00614@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (07/14/90)

     I have recently purchased 2 AB boxes when I added an AMAS midi/amiga
sampler to my A500 system.
     I'd like to know, if it's just as dangerous to switch from A to B
while the computer is on, as it was to unplug and plug interfaces into
the serial and parallel ports before the AB boxes came along.
                                            THanks,
                                                Jason

Let me put it this was.  Hewlitt Packard will *NOT* honor warranties
on their laser printers attached to mechanical switch boxes....  There
is live voltage in the connections of the switch boxes, along with
unfiltered static charges...
