13563 2001-06-03 06:30:00 Hello.
I currently have a printer and Zip drive running from my PC's parallel port.
Can I add a scanner (with pass-through connections) as well?
Thanks is anticipation.

The thinking behind daisy-chaining gave birth to USB which allows you to join peripherals together in a chain.

If you are running 2 devices from the same parallel port, I would have thought that you would be having software and port conflicts.

The option I would have suggested is to purchase another parallel card from somewhere like Dick Smiths:

marketplace.xtra.co.nz

Just one example.

Hope this helps.

Bill
