First of all I would like to publicly thank Bob Turner for his help in getting this machine up and running.. I still need some basic help in getting things working and maybe someone ( with an Osborne 1 ) could help. I don't know alot about ports, etc. but I would like to use a modem with the Osborne 1. I know that you have to reverse the 2 and 3 pins on the rs 232 to make a modem work there and I have done that. I can get it to work but the dtr light doesn't come on and the modem functions, such as autodial, doesn't work. Can I hook up to the 9 pin modem port? Instead of the rs 232 port? Another question, I want to hook up a cheap monitor ( TV ) if possible. Can someone tell me what would be the cheapest alternative. I do have the 80 column upgrade, but when I have tried to use a ext monitor, the top and bottom are off the screen! That should hold me for now.. Thanks Mack Goodman 2106 Hamphire dr. Fallston, Md .
