[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Switch Boxes on Macs...

Hi All,

	I was wondering if anyone would see any problems with using a cable
switch box to go between a mac and (printer (ImageWriter) or PhoneNet (AppleTalk
box)).  The box I have in mind does switch all 8 pins, but is not specified in
the make-break / break-make sequence.  (i.e., it is possible that for a split
second during the switch transition, all three are connected).  This is a
_manual_ control box, with no buffering, etc.

	On the same vein, anyone seen a DA or Fkey that changes the state of
the AppleTalk byte (inactive / active)???

	Thanks in advance

	James
