Re: ADT on a //c

[noone@nowhere.net]

I modified instructions for you from the CSA2 FAQ not included with the
ADT program.  I believe this will simplify the process for you.  I can
not verify this at this time as I do not have the cable for a IIc.  I
recommend that you print this out.

     Lets try it without any comm software at all. We will still
essentially make the IBM type in the program on the Apple II using the
comm ports of both computers. 

Turn off the two computers.

4. Plug in the cable to both computers.  (Properly wired cable is the
key.) 

See the end for a cable diagram.

For the WinDoze Computer-- 

5. Uncompress the ADT122.zip into a folder with the name adt122 on the
root of the C: drive for convenience.  (I use Winzip for ease of use.) 

6. Get to a DOS prompt.  For a Windows 95/98/ME computer,  use a 'dos
window' by selecting Start/ Programs/ MSDOS Prompt. 

7. Set up the port for communications.  Type in the following command at
the dos prompt, replace the X with a port number, either 1 or 2, where
the cable is plugged into the PC. 

mode comX baud=300 data=8 stop=1 parity=n 
  
8. Turn on the Apple IIc and Press Control-Reset to get to a prompt. 
Then type the floowing two line pressing the Enter key after each line.  

IN#2 
Ctrl-A6B


9. Go back to your Windows machine and type this into your Dos Prompt
window.  Replace the X with the port number, 1 or 2 as you did above. 

cd \adt122
TYPE DOS33.DMP>comX 

10. You will see DOS 3.3 being typed in by your PC.

11. Before doing anything else, insert a standard 5.25" double-density
diskette into Drive 1 and type

INIT HELLO   (i.e. type in INIT HELLO and press RETURN).

The drive should spin and in a minute your diskette should be INITed.

12. Restart the IIc using your new Dos33 diskette.

Thankx,
Ed


The Proper cable diagram according to the FAQs

IIc Port # viewed form the back of the computer/ solder side of the 5
pin din.
  5    1
4        2
     3 

PC Serial Ports are usually numbered

Name		IIc		PC9	PC25	 Name
	DTR	1	---	6	6	DSR
				1	8	DCD shorted to DSR on PC side
	Tx	2	---	2	3	Rx
	Gnd	3	---	5	7	Gnd
	Rx	4	---	3	2	Tx
DSR/	DCD	5	---	4	20	DTR

I recommend that you also short the following wires together on the PC
side, I do not know if this is necessary, but it won't hurt.
				7	4	RTS
				8	5	CTS
