"don't know all the details"....hmmm I think this is the first time MSG has failed to know something
about something.....sorry but we'll have to knock you down to 99.6% MSG.

I remember playing around with bi-directional printing through a port switch with IEEE-1284 cable
and changing BIOS'es to ECP, EPP...what a waste of time.  Only way we got it working was to put in
the old regular parallel port switch.

I'm still sticking with SCSI for Linux. Have SCSI CD-RW at work, home and also SCSI scanner HP4C &
HP5p but have yet to get around to getting them to work under Linux that is.  Last time I tried
xsane there was a shared library conflict after installing HelixGNOME.
