Greetings!

I do my BBSing mainly on my Tandy 1000 TX or TL/2. I have a serial card with a 16550 UART, but I cannot locate the jumper on the TX motherboard (have not looked for on TL/2). I searched for schematics but must've been looking in the wrong places. All I found was an illegible diagram. Anyone have any personal experience with this?

... I tried to contain myself, but I escaped.

Nick Andre (1:229/426), who's a good friend of mine and a Tandy nerd, has a Tandy 1000. I don't know if he participates in this echo, but netmail him and see if he can help. He's a huge Tandy fan.

I reached him. Thanks!

Then yeah,I suppose I will be running into you then!

You're a CoCo fan I see? Though my first computer ws a Timex Sinclair, I really cut my computing teeth on a CoCo2 I got for my fifth birthday in 1986. I still have one I believe to be new in box, and I have a CoCo 3 setup in my living room. I want to do more CoCo stuff.

Yes but my CoCo 2 was stolen in 1991 and I haven't had one since. I do use
the ovcc emulator for fun.

I started to cut my teeth programming on the CoCo 2. I later acquired a C64 that I went to town on. In 1987, I learned USCD Pascal on a TRS-80 Model III (what my high school had at the time) and I still use Pacal today though I
am leanring C.

All these years later, that still upsets me. When I was growing up, we were poor and my parents really had to scrape up to come up with $300 back in 1984 to
buy me the CoCo 2. I like my PCs but there was something special about the myriad of home computer models back then. I remember the massive "home computing" aisle at Toys 'R Us back then. I also remember how and all of my fledgling nerdy friends and I always discussed at school why we loved our particular computer the best. We just didn't know how good we had it back then.

Fun fact: I was a Mac nerd long before I became a PC fan.

I would still be upset about it too!

When I was a kid I had my CoCo2 at home, the TI-99/4A at my grandfather's, and an IBM XT at my aunt & uncle's house. Then one magical day in the late 1980s, my uncle brought a Macintosh II home from his office, and my mind was BLOWN. That is what made me start my vintage collecting with Macs!

I, to this day, would seriously consider picking up a Mac IIci with a
cache card, 12 mb of RAM and video card -- that was an incredible system
I ran in 1993-1995. Dependable, reliable...
