My new projct is well under way (RGB graphics scanner) but I have a question for the computer experts here.....
To connect the supplied DMX or the DAC I will need to have an 8 pole switch (See Drawing)
I could just use a printer switch box, with a mechanical switch....that though is a bit low tech.
What I want to do is to use a belkin auto printer switch (see photo) this allows 2 computers to use one printer....or for my use to allow the X & Y drives and laser blanking to be switched from 2 sources.
The question is, can this switch be configured to do this job? I am not sure how it selects which input to pass to the output, can it be done by setting a line on the parallel port on the computer hi/lo????
