not mention the protocol you are using. For ZLink with Hyperterm, use
Xmodem. Also remember to always start the ZLink side first for any file
transfer.

I know that when I use 8n1, and type PR#2 from the DOS prompt, I only get
gibberish on the PC side but with 7n1, I get normal letters. That's why I
used it with Zlink. I tried it with no emulation on the Zlink side, with the
same results -Block Number Errors. I'm not sure what it means by Block
Number

I do use Xmodem on the PC side to transfer, and I start the Zlink side
first. It's frustrating to be so close, and still it doesn't work. This
whole set up has been one big pain. Asimov and Tarnover are gone, and along
with them went the only real source of .dsk files (en masse.) Grr. It
shouldn't be this stinkin' hard to do. I've set this same kind of transfer
up on other types of systems with no problem but everything seems to be much
more difficult with an Apple IIe. ADT was almost as much of a pain but
fortunately, I only needed to send one way.
