Sorry, Tony, much as I'd like to repay you for all
the contributions you've made,
I don't think I can help very much.
Pity... Well, it didn't hurt to ask.
No info on the old modular units at all, and the '86 price list & brochure
I'm
looking at doesn't mention any 10 port models either. I don't have any technical
From what I can see, the 10-port unit and the 16-port
modular unit are
pretty similar electroncially.
info in any case, just the Installation/Reference
Manual and the Applications
guide for the NC4, NC7, NC8 and NC16. The NC4 (4 serial) & 7 (4 serial, 3 par.)
have configuration switches on the front, while the 8 & 16 are programmed from a
terminal.
Mine are certainly soft-configured. There are, IIRC, no internal DIP
switches at all. And IIRC, sending it some control codes (it _MAY_ be
^T^T) gets you some kind of prompt, from which you can configure the port
setings, logcially conenct ports together, etc.
I've figured out enough to make the PSU brick for it (just a transformer
+ fuses), and that sort of thing. I was wondering if there's anything
that's not obvious...
