What this means is that you can use a 'standard' IBM type of cable (No more Amiga specific custom cables). Thats why a gender changer won't work... Let me know if you need the pin outs, ill mail them to you. Since the A1000 cables are becomming harder to find, I suggest you sell it along with your A1000. Thats what I did since new printer cables can be bought for $5 at most computer faires. >Thanks for all your help... > > Steve Hall -- Dan "Sneakers" Schein {alegra|amiga|rutgers|uunet}!cbmvax!heimat!sneakers Sneakers Computing 2455 McKinley Ave. Of course heimat is an Amiga.
