[net.micro.trs-80] Model 100 technical questions

esfraga@watmath.UUCP (Eric S Fraga) (01/27/85)

I have owned a Model 100 for about a
year and a half now.  Although I do use
it as a portable terminal (ie. I carry
it around with me) once in a while, I
am finding that more and more I leave
it in one place.  As a result, I would
like to connect the 100 to a monitor in
that one location.  Now, Radio Shack
sells a video/disk interface, but it
cost too much and I don't need/want the
disk drive.  Is there anybody that
makes and sells a video interface by
itself?  Or, possibly, how hard would
it be to interface the 100 to a monitor
myself?

A second question I have deals with the
ORIG/ANS switch on the side of the 100.
Is it possible to make the 100
auto-answer (ie. detect incoming calls
and answer the phone itself)?  I
haven't figured out exactly what the
ORIG/ANS switch does but I am told that
the built-in modem is not capable of
auto-answer.

Please direct any answers either to
myself, in which case I will post a
summary if I get enough responses, or
post the response in this newsgroup.

Thanks in advance!
