Hi,
I have quite a large sum of data on Apple//e that I would like to transfer to
a Mac or an IBM. The only way I could think was finding a modem and
transfering the files through the phone lines. It should be possible to link
up an Apple//e and IBM, but I have no idea about how to do it. Maybe some
computers (with the help of software) can even read Apple disks, which would
just solve all my problems. I need help. I am feeling lost. I do not have a
modem at hand and since this is going to be a one time thing I don't really
want to purchase one either.
I would appreciate any help that would save me 10 days of typing in front of
a computer.

If you can find a Mac, use "Apple File Exchange", which is included with
the system software. It can transfer files between Apple //'s, Macs,
and IBMs. It also has specialized translators that may be able to
retain formatting information for wordprocessing documents and the like.
Wait a minute, you do have a 3.5" drive don't you?
Failing that, you could get a "null modem" cable, which is simply a
cable without a modem that directly connects the two computers. You'd
need a serial card for the //e though.
