I know- but I have been looking forward to using SIS on my GS and hate to
"disconnect" it from the outside world. :) I use the GS and the Mac in
different rooms, so I am attempting to network them both together, with a
Stylewriter in between, and both with modems. Oh, well- it makes an
interesting passtime. If worst comes to worst, I'll get a switchbox for
one of the ports. 
BTW- interesting sidenote- I got a 4-way ADB switchbox and now use it to
connect 2 Macs and my GS up to one Keyboard/mouse set. I once read that
disconnecting ADB devices with the computer on wasn't good- but it
doesn't seem to have any ill effects so far.
That's for all the good info!
