Tandy, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to drop the 26-1373 modem adapter from their most comprehensive line of microcomputer products ;---] This is the little devil that lets you connect a modem to a 3-port card. Anybody out there that would kindly supply me with the pinouts for this? Please post or email to ...!uunet!dpmizar!petro!flattop!rcm or ...!gatech!petro!flattop!rcm. Thanks, and LONG LIVE THE 6000!

Thanks, and LONG LIVE THE 6000! The 3-port card is a DCE device, unlike the tty01/02 ports that are DTE. A standard null modem should work. I have heard reports that the 3-port cards did not support modems well before XENIX 3.2, but I've never used a modem on tty04-9. Two 6000's with a null modem between them run just fine at 9600 if tty01 or tty02 are used on both machines. I routinely download at 9600 using ZMODEM from tty04 and tty08 without a dropped character. If you have a II/16/16a you will also need to check your Z80 CPU card. Rev C with fixes is supposed to work, but we never got anything but Rev D to work (works fine without the 3-port card). Finally, does anyone know where the MMU and the 3.2 development system now reside? Our local manager was told that both products were still alive, but when?

The modem adaptor makes use of DSR and on other line to work the modems hand shake signals, a standard NULL modem JUST WILL NOT CUT IT. WHEN USING A 3 PORT CARD AND A MODEM USE THE MODEM ADAPTOR, THATS WHAT IT WAS MADE FOR. Believe ME, I KNOW, I WAS THERE! If you really want to know send mail and I will blow the dust off of my 3 port board schmatics and tell you which lines.. ___ Sign seen on a local parts wearhouse....
