      Hello Jeff,               JB> Good news is, I'm pretty sure almost all the Amigas        > had RS-232 serial ports, so you should be able to use        > a common null modem cable to hook it to your main        > computer.               Just be careful of the cable wiring. The Amiga was       unusual in that some pins supplied power for external peripherals. I have       seen Amigas that were destroyed when they were plugged into the wrong cable.        Always make sure your Amiga is switched off before you plug or unplug cables       or devices into the serial or parallel port.              - Andy Ball              --- BBBS/LiI v4.01 Flag        * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38)    |
