This thing helps with attaching the WiModem232 to a 100/200/NEC https://github.com/bkw777/WiModem_to_100 https://photos.app.goo.gl/hjoC3vnfZxWbFPRW6
The serial port on 102 is upside down, so you can't use this on 102, but on 102 you can use a generic mini gender-changer. The wimodem232 sticks straight out the back instead of up, but at least the led and/or screen faces up. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=db25+mini+gender+changer+male -- bkw On Sat, Jan 9, 2021 at 3:02 PM Steve Baker <[email protected]> wrote: > Fantastic, welcome Jim! > > I’m pretty new around here too, just got my first T102 late-spring and > have been having a blast.
