3.3 Switching between computers using the AdderView

When you select a new computer using the AdderView, the peripherals that were
connected to the old computer will be disconnected and allocated to the new
computer regardless of whether they are currently servicing jobs on the old
computer. For example, if you are printing from the old computer and you switch to a
new computer before the print job is complete then only part of your print job will
actually be printed.

In particular you should avoid switching computers whilst a computer is
reading or writing data to a USB data storage device such as a ZIP drive.
Where practical it is adviseable to eject removable disks on USB drives before
switching computers.

3.4 Status display

The status display usually shows the currently selected port. If autoscan mode is
selected, the segments will illuminate in sequence in a clockwise direction
interspersed with a display of the currently selected channel. If the AdderView is
waiting for the enumeration guard process to complete then the display will flash.
Data flow from the mouse or keyboard attached to the PS/2 style keyboard and
mouse ports (model AV4USB-PC only) causes the dot in the lower right hand corner
of the display to flash.
