To use as a contest computer, I picked up an old PS/2 (486SX/33-4Meg
Ram/200Meg HD) and it has PC DOS / WIN3.1 installed. It seems to run CT
OK except I think I need to get the Comm ports set up properly to get CT
and my TNC to talk. It seems I can communicate with my TNC through the
PS/2's WIN3.1 Terminal program fine. II suspect that the Comm ports are
not set up right in DOS and I don't know/remember how to get to the DOS
settings for Comm ports or if I even CAN on a PS/2. To that end:
Question 1:
The "delete" key function to access BIOS settings at boot doesn't work.
IS there even a way to do this in a PS/2?
Question 2:
How do I change configurations for Comm ports in MSDOS/PCDOS?
Unrelated Question 3:
I believe the backplane is microchannel (w/sideways mounted boards) and
there's no way to use a DVP or any other ISA type board in here, right?
Not a problem until I own a DVP, anyway.
Thanks,
Mike, N2MG
