Hi all - help required... :Doh: !

I recently got hold of one of these boxes from evilbay - cheap.

I was hoping that it would somehow allow use of more than one unit attached to the Beeb's User Port.

It LOOKED to me at least(!), to offer a cable to attach it to the User Port, then a spliter to allow attachment of two different User Port pieces of hardware - it doesn't :( .

If I'd have looked carefully, the two ports are of different sizes - one (right) seems to be a User Port, but the other one (left) is 3 pin-outs longer.

So, I'm stumped. There's no manual - but does anyone know what it's for and how it's used??

Thanks in adavance for any help!

By the size of it (I didn't notice this before...) the (left) port is Printer Port-sized (26-pin rather than the User Ports 20) - could this be a splitter box for those that had a printer that connected to the User Port - confused much!?!
 
If anyone here can answer this it will be TheCorfiot, PM him and see if he can help, he is the master of all things BBC.
 
Fair point - well made! I will do just that!

Thanks.
