WP2-08.THD (c)1989 Golden Triangle, Inc. (c)1989 Wilson Van Alst =+=+=+=+=+= Fm: Bernie Dodge To: Jim Bay Jim - I'm hoping to use my new WP-2 to draft text for my Mac. Are you a Mac user? Have you been successful dumping directly to the Mac? If so, please tell me what you're using for a cable. Thanks! ::: Bernie ::: =+=+=+=+=+= Fm: Jim Bay To: Bernie Dodge Bernie: I am indeed a MacAbuser, but have not yet hooked the WP-2 up to a Mac (successfully, anyway . . . I _have_ tried, but am now on the road & haven't had time to try some new ideas). =+=+=+=+=+= Fm: Tim Celeski To: Wilson Van Alst Has anyone figured out how to hook up a Mac to the WP2? It all seemed much easier with my Model 102, merely an Imagewriter I cable. Would a straight IBM AT cable to Mac serial cable do the trick? =+=+=+=+=+= Fm: Bernie Dodge To: Tim Celeski Tim... count me among the growing number of Mac users who are eager to find the answer to your question. I can tell you that a Mac DIN to 25 pin modem cable with null modem adapter and 25 to 9 pin converter DOESN'T work. Someone could make a lot of quick money figuring this out and selling the solution by mail order. If time permits, I'm going to try a local specialized cable maker and see what they can do. ::: Bernie ::: =+=+=+=+=+= Fm: Tim Celeski To: Tandy WP-2 to the Mac Finally solved the problem. Here are the pin-outs to connect the TANDY WP-2 to the Macintosh. WP-2 MAC DB-9 MAC Plus ----- -------- -------- 5 Grd 1 Grd 4 Grd 2 Rxd 5 Txd 3 Txd 3 Txd 9 Rxd 5 Txd -- 7 Rts -- 8 Cts Loop back the RTS and the CTS lines on the WP-2 into each other with a jumper. That should do it. Memory Upgrade The 32k internal memory upgrade used in the WP-2 consists of the following 28 pin chip. Mitsubishi M5M5256BP-10L I'm told that there are lots of other alternatives for this, and that this speed of 100ms is not really necessary. Remember this is CMOS ram, handle carefully!
