Henrik, such switchboxes usually use some kind of control sequence to switch to the output port selected AFAIK. Did you read the manual - is there anything mentioned about how to select the output port? Cheers |

Sam, you're right. But in your case, this is n-way to 1 output. That's easy for the box to determine: It snoops the ports and as soon as there is data it simply does "first come, first serve" and after data was processed, it gets back to snooping the ports. Thomas |

| Henrik, I searched the web and found some information about that switch. The information I found is available here: it says: The driver download page (available from the above site) is: But hold it! This drivers is only for DOS/WIN of course... chances seem quite bad to get an OS/2 driver for it... Greetings (anyway) |
