It's extremely unlikely.  PC-DOS 3.1 wouldn't run on the Rainbow; the MS-DOS
3.10 sold by Suitable Solutions is a specially-adapted version.

I forget whether the Scholar recognizes the Hayes AT command set; it it does,
I recommend you ask the sysop of your board where you can get the BinkleyTerm
program.  Operating in terminal mode under MS-DOS, Binkley will give you
autodial capability as well as various transfer protocols.

Can anyone out there give me the pinots for the video, comm, printer ports
etc for the Rainbow 100? The only guy in the area who had the moniters and
keyboards went and jacked the price up as soon I showed an intrest in buying
one. Now I have to adapt other componets to work with the 'Bow cuz I won't
buy these from him now. Anyone out there able to help me? Thanks
