There is software to allow input to the Amiga from the serial or parallel port. I was thinnin'...could I use the cable from my PCjr's printer port to get files from the PCjr to my Amiga? If the PCjr thinks it is printing a file, couldn't the Amiga just scoop up the file at the other end of the cable? Also, can the same cable be used for printing from my Amiga? Lee
