: Heh Bill,
:
:   You're missing the point.  I'm getting a kick out of watching
: the Apple II dutifuly type in the textfile / program as sent by
: hyperterminal.  Bear with me here, lol it's quite a hoot for me
: to watch it during the transfer! - And yes, I do amuse easily.

Want to see how easily I am amused?, email me and I'll
explain. I'm not ready to announce this little stupid
project, but I'll tell you since this might give you a
little kick.  :o)

: As for GS/OS - Gasp - I have a Rom 01 IIgs sitting in the
: corner, but the serial comm duties are handled by my
: Platinum IIe.

But, But, But, the IIgs can accept the SSC2 and/or the
Apple Mac Serial cable.  :o)

: "Hector" runs the following:
:
: Aux Slot - 80Col/64k Card
: Slot 2 - Apple Super Serial Card (Home of the Apple Serial
net!)
: Slot 4 - Apple Mouse Interface card
: Slot 6 - Apple Disk Controller card
: Slot 7 - R&D Automation CFFA w/ 128MB compact flash card

No 3.5" drive?, get that IIgs running.  :o)

: And hopefully someday: Slot __ Apple Graphics Tablet Card. :)

I have a Koalapad, New in box. I haven't played with
it as yet, will that do you?

: I wrote a couple of (really lazy man's) basic programs to
handle the
: PR#2 and IN#2 statements for me.  'logging' into it reminded me

: so much of a IRC client server that I threw together a
"welcome."
:
: Which looks a little something like this:
:
: ]-LI
:
: Communications established ...

: making one for LI or Login instead of hitting return twice like
you'd

:
: Although it's a toss up as to which system is logging into
which - LOL
: I have to do the "-LI" on the Apple side with my PC already
running
: Hyperterminal and I can then effect the "-LO" on the PC side,
to
: disconnect the Apple from hyperterminal... It would be a major
: inconvenience if these systems were really far apart though! :)
:
: Anyhow, if anyone wants a disk image of the textfile aka game,
: let me know and I'll post it to my website and leave a link
here
: in CSA2!

Now that is Apple II all the way. As long as it's fun,
then it's worthwhile, no matter how much anyone else
might think it's a waste of time.  LOL   {:o)>
