Anyway it's model 745 and it has an acoustic
coupler and a DB15 (male)
connector. I browsed through some classiccmp mails from retrobyte
but I was left a bit confused. Is the 15-pin connector RS-232 or is it
current loop ? (keeping my fingers crossed for RS-232!)
The one that I had was. But there might be a jumper for current loop.
I've also read that you can set different options
via the internal jumpers,
does anybody have any idea about those ?
It had a loopback connector on the DB15 connected like this:
2->11
3->13
8->12
I no longer have access to one, nor the manuals.
But I MIGHT still have some RS232 cables for it.
The one that I had, the loopback connected the RS232 compatible terminal
with the RS232 compatible modem. There was a jumper inside that
eliminated the need for the loopback plug, but I used it as a printer, and
used the modem with a TRS-80. That required some special cables to bring
the terminal signals and the modem signals out to DB25s.
