- : After quite foolishly handing over the money to a friend so he could
- : collect the modem, I discoverd it came with NO manuals and a cable that
- : seemed to connect to my parallel port (I had to unplug my printer). :(
-
- Amiga 500's RS232 is standard, A1000's is not. I'm not sure about the parallel
- port, but you should get serial cable especially for the Amiga 1000.
-
- : (1) Is there a way of connecting this modem to my serial port with either:
- : (a) different cable?
- : (b) gender bender (serial port on Amiga-500 is female)
-
- I'm not sure about that gender bender, it might work. I'm no expert.
-
- : (3) Are there communication packages that work through the parallel port?
-
- As far as I know, no.
