Comments ... welcome... When we used the parallel port as an IO device for the Lorraine (the Amiga prototype), we connected it's strobe & acknowledge to acknowledge & strobe of our Sage code development machine. Of course, we had fewer machines than Matt in those days, so we were not trying to network it :-). Did you consider tying the flag input to D5? If the network is only sporatically busy, this would allow an interrupt wake up mechanism for prospective clients instead of having them poll it. That would contribute to the loading problem, though, for which I've no spec to refer to. - Kodiak -- Bob Burns, amiga!kodiak _ | /_ _|. _ | Commodore __ |_) _ |_ _ )' |<(_)(_)|(_\|< /\ | ||| _` /\ |_)(_\| )(_\ | | \ Software ___/..\|\/|||__|/..\___ Faith
