Disk Drives
The Commodore 128D has an integral fast disk drive. However, additional
disk drives can give you the ability to make taster back-up copies of disks
and allow you to run certain targe programs more quickly by eliminating the
need to manually swap disks. You can connect additional disk drives to the
C128D through the serial port on the back of the computer.
NOTE: The C128D's integral disk drive is device 8. Further disk drives must,
therefore, be set to device 9,10 or 11. For further information see the user
manual for your disk drive.
Printer
A printer can provide a printed copy, known as a "hard copy", of information
that is either contained in the computer, or stored on disk or cassette tape.
With a printer you can produce letters,reports, mailing labels—even pic
tures, if you use a printer having graphic capabilities. A printer can be con
nected in more than one way. You can either connect a printer directly to the
computer's SERIAL port, or you can "chain" the printer to a disk drive that is
connected to the computer.
Modem
A modem allows you to use your computer to communicate over telephone
lines with other computer users and with information services like Compu
Serve and Dow-Jones, as well as with computerized bulletin boards (BBs's).
Information received through your modem can be saved on a disk or tape,
or printed as a hard copy. The modem is connected to the Commodore
128D through the USER PORT on the back of the computer.
