Re: ADT with a Laser 128

Hi,
The real perfect guide to do transfert is this link :
http://www.callapple.org/magazine/2002may/ADT.pdf
But you must have an Apple (or clone) and superserial card.
Often the user forgot that the defaut SSC slot is 2 and put the car in an
other slot so ... wait eternity. The other great pb is a bad null modem.
Good luck for every body
Have a nice day
