My brother is considering upgrading from an old Apple II+ to a Mac, but is concerned about trying to transfer several 5 1/4" disks worth of Apple Pascal text files to the Mac. Is there an easy way to do this? -- Dave Newkirk, ihnp4!ihlpm!dcn

On the Apple end, you can send with T(ransfer to REMOUT:, and use any communication program on the Mac. You should be able to send very quickly (19.2Kbaud) with a cable.

That is to get a Serial card for the Apple if you dont' have one, and hook it through a null modem cable to the serial port of the Mac. Then use normal communication software, (i.e. Ascii Express on the //+, MacTerm on the mac, etc.) then transfer. Another way is to buy a 3.5 inch drive for the //+, then copy all the software you want onto that disk. Then the mac can directly read it. There are also various //e-in-a-mac emulation software, so you can run some Apple // software on the Mac... --Tak ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: {utzoo, decvax, ihnp4, cbosgd, utcsri, mnetor}!utgpu!utcdfa!a228arig ARPAnet: a228arig%cdfa.toronto.edu@relay.cs.net CSnet: a228arig%cdfa.toronto.edu BITNET: a228arig@utcdfa.UTORONTO == University of Toronto -- Toronto, Canada == -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
