- There doesn't seem to be a way to "close" a G3 Powerbook modem/printer
port, so rebooting is the only way to switch between apps (even AppleTalk) that don't close the port well.
There's a good freeware app/conreol panel called MIDI Mangler that frees serial ports (and can zap PRAM as well).
I actually just (FINALLY!) found a way to get Squeak to close the port. SimpleMIDIPort closeAllPorts works just great!
But AppleTalk doesn't let go well -- I'll look for the MIDI Mangler. Thanks!
