Most computer shops can supply a DATA Switch box. These are avalable in
two or four outlet types.
A warning though, they can significantly slow down data throughput for
some devices such as cams or a PP CD burner. They're really only
inteneded for printers.
Better to purchase an extra ECP or EPP PP card for your machine.
