Metallica<-><-><-><-><-><-><-> The Amiga 3000, 2500, 2000, and 500 all have the same type of serial port as an MS-DOS machine. If the modem was originally designed for a IBM PC (a lot are) then it will connect right up. If it is being connection to the Amiga 1000 then you will need a special cable for two reasons. First, the gender of the serial port is reversed from the other Amiga computers. Second, pins 14-18, 21, 23-25 must NOT be connected. Plus pin 22 is normally the RI (Ring Indicator) line but not on the Amiga 1000. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Darrell Grainger (darrell@comspec) |Comspec Communications Inc. | | Toronto, Ontario, Canada |Disclaimer: My opinions do not | | (416)617-1475 (416)633-5605 |reflect those of my employer. | |------------------------------------+-------------------------------| | Motorcycle: Honda PC800 | Computer:Amiga 2000 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
