Once upon a midnight dreary, Tony Duell had spoken clearly:
Machines that want to use the PC printer cables. These
may only implement
enough lines to support a printer and not all the strange ones (that may
be used for mass-storage units), as explained above
The Atari ST falls under this category. You can use a PC's printer cable,
but the actual lines weren't reprogrammable (or accessable) like the PC's
were, so parallel Zip drives and their ilk are not usable thru the built-in
printer port on them.

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
