Two MicroSolutions Backpack devices can share the same printer port
with a printer.  I have had as many as four attached, although this is
not a good idea if you intend to use a printer too.  I have not tried this
with devices from different vendors.

Hi All:

Has anyone ever successfully used two "pass through" devices on one parallel
port without a switch--in other words through one and then through the
second and then to the printer (eg-Lpt1 to a parallel Zip Drive to a
parallel scanner, and then to the printer).  Is it even possible?
