[comp.sys.mac.hardware] A/B Serial switcher

Hello,

  I've just bought my third serial device for my Mac, and I'm now faced with
the problem of connecting them...  Is there a cheap (<$30) and reliable A/B
switcher available that would allow me to plug two devices into it and
switch which one gets the serial port?  I'd also be willing to go for more $$$
if I could get an A/B/C/D switcher, or somesuch.

  Alternatively, anybody got any suggestions for building one?  Where would I
get the parts (plugs and sockets; and what kind of switch?).

Thanks,

--Mike

P.S.  I've still not gotten any reply to my question of whether it's possible
to use an 800K drive with a IIx. If anybody knows, PLEASE TELL ME!  Thanks!
