There simply is no additional line you can connect the ATN IN to. Note that we would also need an additional line for DATA IN, as the current DATA IN line would be blocked by the "logical OR" of DATA IN and ATN IN. We do not have that much input lines. That's a limitation of the parallel port. Of course, we could add multiplexing to the picture... No, just kidding. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
