I have one of those Steve. Unfortunately it isn't spare at the moment. I
always assumed the AU logo stood for Acorn User - they used to sell various
own-branded items at the back of their mags. There were a number of versions
of these splitters, including a 4-way multiplexer published in Mike Cook's
Body Building series in Micro User mag (December 1985). Not sure how they
all worked. The AU one I have has no switching built in but a Watford
Electronics one I've seen has a change-over switch on top.
