Doh! Do you have any idea how stupid you just made me
feel :^) Thanks, I
just copied the files to RX50. Since I couldn't get the emulator to read
the disk image I foolishly didn't consider that putr might be able to :^(
Bob Supnik's emulator is a fine emulator, but it's not the same
sort of all-purpose tool that PUTR is for dealing with certain file
systems.
Ummm, two reasons. I'm not sure I've got the
necessary hardware pieces in
the Box (would I be able to go through a printer port)
You've got a console port, right? That's all you need!
See ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/b/krt.doc for full installation
instructions.
and secondly I
haven't a clue as far as Kermit is concerned. I think I've used it once or
twice to transfer data between a Honeywell Mainframe and a PC, but there
was a written reciept to follow for that.
Too bad you suffered through so many years without realizing what
a wonderful took Kermit is. It's available for just about every
computer platform there is (or was), and can deal with communications
channels that X/Y/ZMODEM will just stare blankly at (for example,
one-way-at-a-time async channels common on IBM mainframes). Even
better, it can be just as fast or faster than ZMODEM. I use it just
about every day to move data between RT-11, RSX-11, CP/M, VMS, Unix,
MS-DOS, OS/8, etc...
