Thanks for the tip.  I'm going to try and back up the whole system and
I'll now be sure to copy that driver.  Luckily I got the manual and
original disks with me.  I'll just copy/ADT them to make sure they're
good and I have backups.

Speaking of ADT, if I copy an 800k prodos disk, what's the proper
filename extension?
Should I label them with ".2mg"?  Not sure if that's correct..
I assume the hard drive will have an ".hdv" extension - that much I
learned from using AppleWin.

It dawned on me that I don't need a null-modem cable after all.  Just
flip the block on the super serial card from MODEM to TERMINAL.  Worked
great.

So far I've transfered ADT over, then use that to transfer ADT Pro
over.
Now I just sent my first 800k disk from the //GS to my PC with ADT Pro.
I think I'll do the HD transfer overnight.. That'll be lots o' blocks!

Thanks,
