2344.0. "Blown parallel port" by MEMORY::BERKSON (Think honk if you're a telepath) Thu Mar 09 1989 16:53

    I suspect that I damaged my parallel port when I plugged in Digiview
    with the power on.  What chip would I have to replace to make it
    work again?  Only the inputs of the parallel port seem to have been
    damaged.  Thanks.

PROBABLY the 8520, also called Complex Interface Adaptor. Omnitek will sell
you one for about $16. NOTE: they do not refund on chips, as far as I can
remember, and it is possible something else is wrong, but these chips are
sensitive and not well protected from the outside world.
