I am looking for a method to get data from a Radio Shack Color Computer to an IBM PC. This request is made on behalf of my father, who is a complete computer novice. My father is using a Color Computer as a data logger and storing the data on cassette tape. He wishes to crunch the data on his IBM PC. Does anyone out there know of a way to get data from the Color Computer to the PC? I was thinking of hooking the Color Computer's serial port to the PC's. Is this possible (I am no hardware hacker)? Or is there a better way to do it? Once he had a connection between the two machines he would need some software to get the two machines to talk. Are there packages available to do this between these two machines? I could hack something together for him, but a pre-existing package would be better. Another possibility would be to read the cassette directly on the PC. Is this possible? Or has IBM dropped the cassette port from their PC in recent releases (his computer is brand new)? Any replies will be greatly appreciated. David Shanks ..!tektronix!ogcvax!metheus!cdi!shanks Computer Development, Inc. 6700 SW 105th Suite 200 Beaverton, OR 97005 (503) 646-1599
