Pick one that works for your serial setup (COM port, interrupt, etc.) and then do a "serial restart" and you should be up and running. Don't forget the null modem device. Yes, it's basically a terminal emulation program, and was pretty much THE one when the Apple ][ was in its heyday. You don't absolutely need it (you can use the firmware in the Super Serial Card, which sucks) but it would make things a whole lot easier. I was looking for a program that I remember that allowed you to transfer files between the Apple ][ and a PC over a serial port using drag and drop but I can't find it. However, I did find this: http://www.geocities.com/apl24win/DESCRIPT.HTM Transfer files through the Apple ][ I/O port to a parallel port on the PC. Ok, it could have been done easier with serial ports, but this eliminates the necessity of having a serial card on the Apple ][, which can be hard to find for some people (I have scads of them). A very neat concept. I'll have to play with it. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
