[vcf-midatlantic] A/B switch for ribbon cable?

[systems_glitch]

You can probably use a 25-pin A/B switch (super common, used for switching
a printer between two PCs) and just make up cables for it. Just make sure
it's the printer variety, with all pins switched -- some of the ones
intended for RS-232 don't switch every single pin.

Thanks,
Jonathan
