[Coco] DC Modem Pak to RS232 Pak MOD

[Todd Wallace]

Thanks for the link Glen! The pics are really low res of course, but I'll just have to read the instructions carefully.  Bill, well for one thing, I would have no clue how to modify a device driver.  Also I'm more concerned about using the pak in DECB, not OS9, though OS9 would be cool too.  I'm not aware of the 1 inch square max232 modules.  Maybe you could link me to one?  Again, I'm a bit of a hardware n00b so sorry for my ignorance.

Then someone mentioned it's possible to mod a Direct Connect Modem Pak into one, and I just so happen to have one of those! I googled and found a link to such a mod on CoCo3.com but the pics were all missing. Anyone have some good info/instructions/etc on how to accomplish this mod? I'm not sure how complex it is, as I am not an expert with electronics, but I'll never use this modem pak as a 300 baud modem again, so might as well attempt it if I can. Thanks for any info you can give me.
