Thanks for the lead. It was a parallel printer. I checked the "socal" website. Symptoms described match my situation. Will continue with search for local Toronto, Canada technician with a specialty in sensitive soldering. Any recommendations Ontario readers. Fred -Original Message- From:

After reading all the responses so far, it appears that Eric has a tough decision. It seems to be roughly divided 50:50 although there have been some defections of early yes votes. I remember a debate over 2400c's and Duos being on the same list. The principal issue raised by the splitters was

Was it a parallel printer? If so, more than likely F1 on the main logic board is blown. That fix can be done with as little as only a keyboard removel. Instructions to check and repair are here: http://home.socal.rr.com/midijab Jack - Original Message - From: "Fred Pentney" <[EMAIL PR

The biggest question for me is how well it performs, but I'm waiting for one of the mags to tell me that. So far the tests haven't been glowing. Considering they weren't tested under controlled conditions I'm waiting with my judgement. If it is at least faster than my 550 15" (which didn't have
