Some hardware made by The [[KDS Communicator 104]] is a modem from [[KDS Electronics]]. Unlike most other modems, it connects directly to the CPC's expansion port (rather than using a separate serial RS232 interface).
* The Communicator might be a modem (according to a review in the Danish Amstrad Magazine [[Amstradbladet 1985, Issue 6]] page [[:File:Amstrad Bladet8506033.jpg|35]]). Possibly a revision of the [[Mini-Max Modem]] from KDS.
* It might also be a Serial and Parallel interface being made years later in 1992 (according to http://www.retroisle.com/amstrad/cpc/Articles/hwlist.php).== Reviews ==
The above descriptions do more or less conflict with each other, the danish article from * [[Amstradbladet 1985 sounds a bit more trustworthy, but maybe both descriptions are correct (and the whole package consisted of both a modemIssue 6]], bundled with serial/parallel interface). (Note: A "104 modem" is mentioned on page [[:File:Amstrad Computer User8512 007Bladet8506033.jpg|35]](Danish). (KDS 104 modem is reviewed * [[Amstrad Computer User]], Issue 11-1985, review on pages [[:File:ACU8511-033.jpg|33]] and [[:File:ACU8511-036.jpg|36]]* [[Amstrad Computer User]], according this reviewIssue 12-1985, the "104 modem connects directly to the CPCs expansion port (without needing a serial interface at all" also mentioned on [[:File:Amstrad Computer User8512 007.jpg|page 7]]). == Connections == The KDS 104 connects to the discdrive port of the CPC* [[Amtix]], more info at: Issue 0, short review on [[:File:Amtix_00_Page_10.jpg|page 10]]
