The switch has 4 parallel inputs and 1 parallel output. Course, in true logic,
all the plugs on the switch are DB-25's. Can't see it being a cable problem
since I am using the same cable between the buffer and the switch in both
cases; and the same cable between the switch and the printer. All that changes,
cable-wise, is the one between the computers and the buffer or switch (the VME
has a centronics output, the mm/1 has a DB-25).
