I have some old programs from my HP2000 days that I
downloaded to
APPLE-2 diskette (DOS 3.3 and PRODOS).
Any ideas on the easiest way to get that source uploaded to a network
connected system which should then be able to easily
paste them into a terminal session and get the code active again?
I have an APPLE //c, a II+ and a IIE. I appreciate any ideas on this one.
Bob,
I used an Apple serial card, a null modem cable, and a simple BASIC
program to use the serial port.
There have been some Apple emulators.
Does anyone know if any of them can read Apple 5.25" floppies?
I know that in the evolution of 5.25" drives and densities, there was
the issue of wide heads, wide write tracks, and later heads and
tracks were narrower. Was it that modern heads could read earlier tracks?

If an apple emulator could read the disks, that would be a LOT simpler.

New subject: HP2000 and old archive stuff NOT on 9-track (apple2 transfer??)??

This is almost a FAQ here.
The PC disk controller cannot read Apple ][ floppies. The drives can,
but the controller can't make sense of the bitstream that comes ou on the
read data line.
There have been alternative controllers for the PC (Catweasel, etc) that
can read Apple ][ disks, and there were hardware add-in cards that added
a 6502 CPU and an Apple disk controller to the PC. But without extra
hardware you can't read Apple ][ disks on a PC.
