What is the difference in the parallel port pinout between the original A1000 and the A500/2000? I know the gender is different, but recall hearing that the power pins have been changed. (This is for using a DigiView on my 1000.) Any hints are appreciated. Thanks...Jim

The gender is different and the pinout is intended to be 100% compatible/safe for connection to IBM PC comaptible printer cables. Check with Digiview for an adapter thingie that gives better results than simple cross-wiring. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)
