Motorola 9100-T

Post by KE7DZZ »

I just received my 9100-T and it powers up and I can get into the file directory, it is running on Win 3.1(1). I am looking for info on the bottom connectors, there is 1 DB-15 and 2 DB-9 ports on it.
I found a few posts here with links to more info, but all the links are dead.

Any info regarding this unit would be greatly appreciated.

TIA Chris / KE7DZZ

Aw c'mon, one of you /\/\oto-heads out there has to know something about this unit.

















































I figured this would be better than just typing in "bump". :lol:

/\/\ MDT-9100-T

Post by Dan562 »

Since I know so little about the /\/\ MDT-9100-T, I had to do some research out on Google.

The /\/\otorola MDT-9100-T / 386 Microprocessor based Wireless Laptop computer which is capable of using either RDLAP at 9.6 Kb or 19.2 Kb. It appears to operate in the 800 MHz frequency band and is capable of interfacing to a printer which I suspect is either the DB-9 or DB-25 connectors.

You could have performed a "Search" on BatLabs but since I already have, try using the link below:

http://batboard.batlabs.com/search.php?mode=results

That's all the knowledge I possess on this /\/\ Product.

If you would have read the first post you might have seen that I did do a search here. Wherever you came up with your research info it is only partially correct. It is a 386 based machine, but I assure you this baby ain't no laptop at least not in the sense of a conventional "laptop". Also, as far as I can tell there isn't a radio in this thing. The 2 DB-9's appear to be serial ports, and I'm guessing the DB-15 (there is no DB-25 port) is where it interfaces with the radio and or printer. I have googled the hell out of this thing and haven't really found any info that is useful. It appears that the one guy that might know something useful has been banned from Batlabs for I don't know/care why. I guess that when I have the time and my workbench is clear of other projects, I will dismantle this thing and find out for sure whats inside and what the ports connect to.

9100-386

Post by ericw »

I too have not been able to find any info via google or other searches on the internet. After doing some playing around, I figured out a bunch of stuff about the 9100-11 and the 9100-386. I think the 9100-T and the -386 are similar, but I haven't obtained a -T to do any testing. I have attempted to start a dialog with the sysops here to see if I can submit my findings to the equipment section of BatLabs. So far no response, but it has only been a few days. If you are still around, I might be able to shed some light.
