I have a short how-to on printer cables for the Tandy 1000 on my web page: http://users2.ev1.net/~switchtech/Tandy1000.HTML It isn't the easiest thing in the...
gotta question for ya... on your card-edge to 25pin din printer port adapter page you said that bi-directional printers might be damaged or cause damage to the...
theres info on www.micro-zone.com on how to convert a (Peanut) parallel port to bi-directional. ... din printer port ... might be damaged or ... something...
I really don't use my 1000's to much. (A HX and an EX) Mostly because they lack hard drives, so they are only part of my collection http://compu80.sclaudia.net...
I had a Tandy 1000 SL/2. It got stolen about 6 or 7 years ago. Thats was my first PC. I moved around the country a few times and that Tandy came with me...
I've always just added an additional printer card to my T1000s, just to avoid the problems associated with the non-bidirectional card-edge port, and the 5 volt...

... The card-edge port supplies 5V on a line that is ground according to IBM standard. This can cause damage to some printers. It is not a problem if you use...

... There are two resources assigned to the parallel port: a set of I/O ports and an IRQ. The switch on the motherboard releases the IRQ for other uses, but...
Hi I got the computer and the monitor from different sources. The monitor produces a 1" high display. (I have twiddled the adjusters) I suspect that the...
Hallo, AFAIK, the VGM is a VGA monochrome monitor. The Tandy 1000TX, without additional video card, produces either TTL CGA or Composite Video CVBS. Stop...
Hi Thanks for the response. Actually, what I am using is a brand new serial cable. The guy I bought it from uses a Tandy computer, and said that the serial...
Hallo, I don't think the serial cable is a problem. Yes, it would probably work, if you had the correct monitor. But, as I understood it, you are trying to...
Hallo, ... So would I. But those 8-bit VGA cards aren't easy to find. Most people threw them away. And there weren't a lot of them to begin with. Don't forget,...
Try a Paradise 8 bit VGA card. I have used several of these in my Tandy 1000 TX with no trouble at all. I agree that they can be hard to find but if you are...
