My Tandy 102 does not behave in the way described in the manual; 1) the ROM routine to pick up the phone and dial a number does nothing, 2) the TELCOM function key display does not show FIND and CALL. It may be that Tandy/Radio Shack supply a different ROM for customers in my country (Australia). Does anyone know for sure? Are there any other differences? Regards...

Yes, I thought so too. But when I ask it to pick up the modem, I hear a distinct relay click. If they were going to ship a model without the modem circuitry on the PCB, they sure would've removed that expensive relay. It is not used for any other purpose. I apologise for not mentioning that in my first post. Would anyone be able to run a checksum of their 102's ROM for me? -- James Cameron Digital Equipment Corporation (Australia) P/L (cameronjames@snoc01.enet.dec.com)
