Chuck--
The problem with daisy chaining with baluns in the link is that each
balun nibbles away at the signal strength. Eventually, with enough
baluns, random errors will crop up and things will go kablooey!
Of course, a lot also depends on the initial signal strength, how
long the cable sections between baluns are, and how many baluns you
use. We used to get away with 2 pair in a run-- one at each end of
the cable from the system to the 1st device, and another pair on the
cable from the 1st device to the 2nd device.
In your case, since it worked once, chances are it will work again. (:
If you're rewiring, make sure the new wires are Cat 5 or better. You
should be able to run twinax over the Cat 5 cables until you switch
over to TCPIP. We have some IBM 6400 printers that have both
parallel and Twinax ports. We use units from CLI-- these hook
between a TCPIP line and the parallel port, and let the printer work
on an Ethernet network.
