I recently bought a MacRecorder and would like to share a serial port between it and my ImageWriter. I really need an A/B switch, since the back of my Mac is pretty inaccessible. Can anyone recommend a cheap unit? I've seen the ads for the Kensington one-what is it, about $50+? I'm looking for something under $30, preferably cheaper. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /~~) /~~ / | long@mcntsh.enet.dec.com | Don't take life too /~~\ /__ /__ | ...!decwrl!mcntsh.enet.dec.com!long | seriously; you won't Richard C.

I really need an A/B switch... Micro Computer Cable Co. has 8-pin mini-din A/B switches for $22.00 They are in Michigan and their number is 313-941-6500 or 313-941-6574 FAX Ask them to send you a free catalog. Tell them that I sent you....they won't have any idea who I am. ;-) -- ------------ ------------ ---------------------- Ben Liberman USENET magik@chinet.chi.il.us GEnie,Delphi MAGIK

I'm looking for something under > $30, preferably cheaper. I got an A/B/C/D Din-8 switch box from ORA Electronics in Chatsworth, CA for around $28-$30. It has four pushbutton switches on the front panel, and suction cups on the bottom (to keep it from sliding ... nice touch). As I recall, they also had an A/B type model for a little less. I don't have the catalog with me, but if you can't locate them via long distance information, drop me a line and I'll get the info to you. -- == Marvin Jones === Optilink Corp. === Petaluma, CA === 707.795.9444 X206 == == uucp: {uunet, tekbspa, pyramid}!optilink!jones ========================== == CIS: 71320,3637 or 71320.3637@compuserve.com === AOL: mjones ============
