- Yep, a "splitter" (T-Switch) should be fine...
-
- In case you have to much money, try getting the arXon 1<->3 switch-box.
- The arXon switch box is controlable by software and in case you
- use one of my printer drivers on the Amiga, the driver will
- automaticly switch the port as needed.
-
- The arXon switchbox is available from
-
- arXon GmbH
- Assenheimer Str. 17
