- A (hopefully) simple question: is it harmful to short-circuit two pins in the
- parallelport of an Amiga 1200? The program driving the port at the moment wil
- configure one as an output, and the other as an input. My hopes are that this
- will allow the program to "talk to itself" since data going out of the output
- pin will be made available at the input pin through a direct wire.
-
- So the question is: would such a connection be harmful to the Amiga parallel
- circuitry in any way? My guess is it won't, but it never hurts to ask...
-
- Thanks!
