3.3 Switching between computers using the LINDY CPU Switch USB
When you select a new computer using the LINDY CPU Switch USB, 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 advisable 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 LINDY CPU
Switch USB 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 32 341 only) causes the dot in the lower right
hand corner of the display to flash.
