Being a EE I really should know this, but I'm too attached to my Amiga to
try it without asking first...
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?
