With all this talk of DeskJets damaging the sound chip on the ST, does anyone know if the HP LaserJet Series II printer could do any damage? Jon Dunn jwd@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu

In reply to: (Jon Dunn) >with all this talk of DeskJets damaging the sound chip on the ST, >does anyone know if the HP LaserJet Series II printer could >do any damage? To find out if your printer will work on the parallel port of your Atari ST, get yourself a multimeter and survey the pullup resistors of your printer. These are located between the +5Volts pin and each of the data pins on the parallel port of your printer (don't forget to switch off the printer). If these resistors exceed 3,3Kohms, the printer will work fine. If they have less, the printer may damage your port. Hope this was helpfull, ------- ------------------------------------------------------------- | Jens, Berlin. | MERTENS@DB0TUI11 | (I never said that)
