The invention relates to an ancillary device to connect computer peripherals to a personal computer. The ancillary device is connected to the parallel interface of the computer and is substantially configured as a dual plug connection so that the ancillary device can be connected on one side to the parallel computer interface and to the printer port on the other side. A control unit is located inside the ancillary device enabling multiple use of said interface. The control unit is provided with a connector cable for other peripheral devices. The cable outlet is located inside the longitudinal extension of the housing. Power is supplied to the control unit via other peripheral devices whose power requirements are unaffected by the control unit, which consumes only small amounts of energy. |
