This thread has me a bit confused. Possibly why I overpaid for a superserial
card when I was trying to transfer things from a Doze-centric net.
I wouldn't dare to question Freds knowledge of disk formats nor Sellams
fierce devotion to A2s but isn't one of the problems to get it into a format
where it can be saved on a PC ? The A2-GS supports older A2 formats I
believe as well as 3.5 disks. Couldn't one save it to a 3.5 disk and then
use the various Mac transfer programs or a power-mac to save it to a DOS
formatted disk ? Am I missing something ? I guess the only way to learn is
to try the exercise myself.
As an aside there was a surplus dealer on the net that seemed to have a
ream of Diamond Trackstar cards going for $30 up to at least a year ago
when last I checked him and debated buying one.

Do I gather from previous discussions that it's a
problem reading an Apple II floppy disk on a PC?
I'm about to get rid of my last Apple II clone (No,
Ernest, I haven't forgotten you) but there are some
Basic programs on Apple diskettes that I might want to
port to GW-Basic some day. Trouble is, the Apple
has no parallel or serial cards and I don't feel like
copying them off the screen by hand.
I think with a little software I could transfer it
to one of my PETs via the cassette port, and from there
it would be trivial to get to a PC, but I'm hoping
there's an easier way.

I keep trying to email you but your account is always full,
or it just bounces back to me after three days.
Anyway, I have a Super Serial card that you can use, and I
can include a copy of ProTerm that might make moving these
files easier for you.
Contact me directly and we can discuss how to get these
items to you.
