- Thanks to the two respondents (Marianne Guntow and Jody Fraser) to my
- question:
-
- > I would like to place my NeXT laser printer 6 to 8 meters away from
- > my NeXTcube. The supplied printer cable is too short. Is it possible
- > to use a longer cable, and if so, does anyone sell a ready-made cable
- > of that length?
-
- Basically, the respondents said NeXT didn't recommend it as they've
- found the line noise in longer cables unacceptable. The pinouts are
- listed in the User Manual if anyone is rich/eager enough to take a
- chance on it.
