Computer Friends makes (or sells, anyway) a 1-into-4 switchbox. They have both 9-pin and 8-pin models. I bought one a while back and it's great. Printer on printer port, then on the modem port I have modem, MIDI interface, a MacNifty audio converter, and a cable to another computer. No more reaching behind the Mac to switch cables! The box is around $50 or so. Hope this helps! Kevin Dack ...!killer!ninja!hal6000!kevin or ...!decvax!microsoft!trsvax!hal6000!kevin
