- Hi,
- (I'm sorry for my italian english)
- I have the same problem with a Canon BJC-4000 and my Amiga 2000.
- Any access on the parallel port with the cable connected to the printer
- goes in crash the amiga system.
- The CIA is save (I hope) becouse my old printer (MPS 1230) works fine.
- ECHO >PAR: "A"
- Loads A to the buffer of the printer but Amiga go to reset.
- ECHO >PAR: "AB"
- Loads A to the buffer of the printer but Amiga remain frozen.
- The Amiga parallel pin 14 (+5V) is disconnected on my cable.
-
