![]() I still have my original 2400 baud modem. It's an external, Zoom brand. Bought it in 1991 just as the 9600 bauds were starting to come out (and so I could get it cheap - $70 mail-order).
And all Zoom modems came with a 7-year warranty. I remember being a young kid reading CompuServ advertisements and coveting a 300-baud acoustic-coupler modem. ![]()

![]() Maz, Laur meant my 300-baud acoustic coupler comment and compu-serv ads. That was twenty years ago.

![]() Heh. You young whippersnappers...
![]() http://oldcomputers.net/ts1000.html Sinclair ZX-81. Popular from about 1981-1983. I saw "build-your-own" kits advertised, but didn't have the hundred bucks I needed. The thing came with two whole K of memory, y'know, and half of that was for the display... http://oldcomputers.net/ti994.html I did manage to scrape up a couple hundred for a used TI-99/4 - my first computer! - in '81. I was in sixth grade. The first things I bought to go with it were the "Extended Basic" cartridge (more powerful programming), and a dungeon hack game called "Tunnels of Doom," for which modules had to be loaded from tape. I still have the programming manuals for the thing. If you scroll down, you can see the TI-Modem acoustic coupler I was talking about wanting. 300 baud of telecommunicating goodness! I also borrowed the mini-memory cartridge (for assembly programming) and the speech synthesizer at various times. http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/index/ Compute! magazine of the early 80's. Source of many CompuServ (and other) ads. If you guys were born in '83, you share that year with the venerated Commodore 64. I didn't own one of those until '85 or so. Wonderful machine, lots of personality. ![]()
