Havok69 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) So I just got my 1030 modem which I plan on using to house my SIO2PC. Upon opening the case, the board has an edge connector on it. I was not aware there were ever any user upgrades available for it back in the day. Perhaps something planned but never implemented? Does anyone know if there was such a thing, or did Tramiel screw that up too? Here's a pic of the board: Edited May 28, 2010 by Havok69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) So I just got my 1030 modem which I plan on using to house my SIO2PC. Upon opening the case, the board has an edge connector on it. I was not aware there were ever any user upgrades available for it back in the day. Perhaps something planned but never implemented? Does anyone know if there was such a thing, or did Tramiel screw that up too? I believe that was a test lead. The best way to upgrade an Atari modem... 1) take an Atari modem 2) gut the Atari modem 3) put a 56K modem in shell.

Havok69 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Haha - good list. I guess I am effectively following that by putting the SIO2PC in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloopy Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) atari had nothing to do with the modem except put the shell on it... it was made by racal-vadic... same with the 835 acoustic, its a novation cat with a (less modified) novation shell... and for mine, sd2sio is in the plans for it... sloopy.
