I have a Leading Edge Model D (IBM Compatible) and an old Apple II+ sitting next to each other. Each has a modem attached. I would like to hook these two together so that (at a minimum) I could move ASCII files between the two. It would also be nice if I could get one to act like a terminal off the other (as host). How do I go about doing this? Do I have to use the modems or can I use the serial interfaces? I don't want to have to write any assembler code. Has anybody tried to do this? Is there an easy solution? Thanks in advance for any help. Jeff David

On an apple super serial card turn the jumper block to terminal and the connection will work as if you had a phone line going. I have connected a kaypro and franklin(apple ii+) together and ran them at 19200 baud. Boy does the data fly.

With communications software you can then transfer files at up to 9600 baud. You can Also use the IBM clone as a terminal for the Apple under Apple Pascal if your serial card is in slot 3. If you have a multitasking operating system you could use the II+ as a term terminal for the PC clone so that 2 users could work at once but the II+ keyboard is very limited. Rick Fincher
