This was a huge clue. I had no idea that tool was even in there. So, after I changed the printer port to "modem" mode, and set all the attributes to match that of the modem port...it worked. Sort of. IN#1 behaved as expected, and I was able to actually bootstrap ADTPro.

However, ADTPro itself still doesn't seem to be able to talk to the server on the printer port, even if I tell it to operate on SSC Slot 1. I believe that it must be able to work, since you and the esteemed author just said it could, but...I couldn't get it going. It just sits and waits. If I move the cable to the modem port, and tell ADTPro to use that, no problem.

Also, the printer port (as expected) reverts back to its defaults when the machine powers off, so I'd probably have to write some kind of startup program to get the port into the right state

Any other ideas about how I might get ADTPro working on the printer port on this //c, or at least why it might not be?
