Re: Please help with //c to IBM PC connection

["Gus Vilomar" <gvilomar@bellsouth.net>]

I don't know if the connection on the Apple IIc is the same as the Apple
IIc+.  If so, just go out to any computer store that sells Apple (like
CompUSA) and buy the modem cable for the Mac.  The Mac has the same round
connection as the Apple IIc+.  Once you do that, you can go to Radio Shack
and buy the Null Modem adapter (not cable) and attach it to the modem cable
(between the comm port and the modem cable).  I did that and it works
perfectly.

Before you can transfer images, you'll need to transfer the "Apple" portion
of the ADT software to your Apple.  The only way I was able to do this was
by dropping the baud rate to 300.  Once both computers were talking to each
other, I was able to do transfers at 19600.

Good luck.
