  • Tandy 1000 TX

    From Bo Holt@1:129/305 to All on Sun May 24 10:31:53 2026
    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.
