  I've tried and had the same problem you did.  I think the problem lies 
in the fact that before the iigs, you pretty much need a serial card in 
order to do xfers of any real speed...  (over like 1200 baud).. so, the 
program isn't designed for a iigs in mind.. The iigs has a super serial 
port built into it, so it doesn't need the enhanced serial card that the 
older apple ii's need.  The ADT program asks you for the slot (1-7), 
which is where it expects to find the serial card..  It doesn't check 
the ports..  I wish someone knew a way to get it to check for ports 
though, because that would be a VERY easy way to transfer images...  
I've tried getting a hold of the author, but haven't had any luck.. 
Anyone have any ideas?
