Re: Need PC to IIGS Transfer help (ADT vs ADTgs??)

["Ken Tucker" <ktucker@iit.net>]

Someone recently told me that ADT (Apple Disk Transfer) doesn't work over
the IIgs's built in serial port and that I'd have a to get a Super Serial
Card. Is ADTgs a GS-only version and it is out there somewhere? Anyone know?
I sure don't want to have to buy a Super Serial Card just to get ADT
working.

Thanks!
Ken
