JP1 Remotes

Doesn't matter, but normally, the cable is hooked up to the parallel port first (and stays there for the duration of your "JP1-ing" session), and then you plug/unplug from the remote LOTS of times as you up/download and test/modify.

Thanks or the quick reply. That makes sense. I just didn't want ...

I'm brand new here and I have the most basic question. I'm reading "Just how easy is it?" and just wondering: Can I hot plug the parallel interface into my jp-1 remote or should I power down the computer before making the connections?
