Just a shot here: The T1000 has an option to set the printer port for bidirectional operation. This screws around with the output drivers and could have the effects you describe. Use your SETUP10 program (in ROM) and make sure the option "Printer Port Bi- directional" is set to "Disable". This should give you a normal printer port. If this isn't the problem I'm stuck, too. ----------------------------------------------------- Gordon S. Hlavenka cgordon@vpnet.chi.il.us Disclaimer: Yeah, I said it. So what?
