- I had pretty much the same problem as you're having. Although I never
- had it checked out, I had planned on getting a Multiface III board (to add
- another parallel port). Unfortunately my poor 4000 expired before I could find
- out if it would have worked or not. :-( Luckily I was able to get a
- replacment machine. :-)
-
- JK> As before, any help/advice/stories will be greatly appreciated.
-
- Well, I suppose this fits into the story catagory.
