Can I make use of the Centronics interface? What type of 'serial car'
do you recommend? Can I use my Apple //c w/serial port but w/o CP/M?
Apple ][ disks don't use standard FM or MFM
encoding, so Macs and PCs
can't
read them. If you can find a serial car for the Apple,
the easiest way
would be to get a copy of Kermit-65 (for DOS 3.3 files) and/or Kermit80
(for CP/M) and transfer the files over a serial link -- that's what I
do.
Kermit-65 comes with instructions on how to get it into an Apple that
doesn't already have any kind of file transfer software, and IIRC
Kermit80
has some similar instructions. You can get Kermit by
anonymous ftp
from
ftp.columbia.edu, or http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/,
or from any of
several mirror sites.
