- Making a sensible mod to USR's S-100 modem DTR control...
-
- The mod is simple:
-
- Above the 8251 Uart is a 7400 (IC20 I think). Careful inspection
- should show that pins 4,5,6 of the 7400 are not used.
-
- The diode in the center of the board, which the brief manual mentions
- can be removed to stop power-up off-hook at the cost of program control
- of DTR, needs to have the lead on the anode (8251) side made available
- to solder a wire to. (Replace or just resolder it).
-
- 1> Break the anode connection (only) of the diode to the 8251 (DTR line).
- 2> Solder a small wire from pin 6 of the 7400 to the free diode anode lead.
- 3> Solder a small wire to pins 4 & 5 of the 7400 (shorting them), and solder
- the other end to the pad where the diode anode used to go (DTR line)
- 4> Now writing a 1 to DTR will take mode off-hook (as it should have been)
- And it powers up on hook....works for me fine. You will have to invert
- the sense of the DTR bit in USR software now.
