- JK>> Hi folks,
-
- w> Hi Jason,
-
- JK>> I'm posting this in the [vain] hope that someone has experienced this
- JK>> before. You see, if I don't get a bit of help with this, the repair
- JK>> bill could cost well over $1000 (you'll see why later).
-
- JK>> THE PROBLEM:
- JK>> My Amiga 4000/040 crashes every time I go to print. It doesn't matter
- JK>> what program I'm using - even copying my startup-sequence to par: will
- JK>> crash the machine evey time without fail. The serial port is fine, as
- JK>> is all the software. Its definatly the parallel port. I proved the
- JK>> software side (printer drivers, devices etc etc) to be OK by booting up
- JK>> on an old Workbench 1.2 disk that has not been used since 1.2 was new -
- JK>> anyway, it crashed.
-
- w> I had pretty much the same problem as you're having. Although I
- w> never
- w> had it checked out, I had planned on getting a Multiface III board (to add
- w> another parallel port). Unfortunately my poor 4000 expired before I could
- w> find out if it would have worked or not. :-( Luckily I was able to get
- w> a replacment machine. :-)
-
- JK>> As before, any help/advice/stories will be greatly appreciated.
-
- w> Well, I suppose this fits into the story catagory.
