I've just purchased a bright shiny *new* Tandy 1000TL (80286) machine. The OS is MS-DOS 3.3. My problem is that I want to use the `serial port' (that now has the mouse hooked up to it) as `read only' from a UNIX box (direct from the async port). Can someone give me the pin outs for that port? I can't find the info in any of the manuals that Tandy gave me with the box. I also don't want to purchase a book *just* for the pin outs :-) What I intend to do is open the async port on the UXIX box in `raw mode' `write only' and transfer data over to the Tandy. I need to write a driver for the Tandy to read the data when the UNIX box transfers it over. I don't care about handshaking, just collect the bytes when they're shipped over and dump 'em into a file. I've already gotten the UNIX side done, the hard is learning the PC side. Any helpfull hints? Any *GOOD* books that ya'll out there in PC land would recommend to help? I'm new to the PC stuff and could use any help ya'll can give. Thanks a bunch.
