Ok, I've got another RAINBOW 100 question. I'm in a situation
where I REALLY need to be able to use two comm ports. I have
the "regular" comm port functioning ok (although that was
a feat in itself), but need a second. Does anyone know if you
can READ the PRINTER port? What documentation I have indicates
it is output only, but has anyone tried using it for input?
Secondly, I know there are some CPM files on Compuserve. Does
anyone know if there are any sites accessible thru internet
(other than perhaps SIMTEL20) that has additional files?
Thirdly, is anyone familiar enough with the memory cards in
the RAINBOW to know - were all the memory cards basically the
same, just with different chips, or were they fundamentally
different? What I have in mind is that since we have 16 of
the things, maybe I could pull a card out of one machine an
put it in another to increase the memory size. Or alternately,
maybe I could replace the chips on the board with larger
capacity memory chips?
Thanks for any advice. I've ALMOST got the system working
(will post my experiences when finished....).
