That's great news Jason. Now when you get your CFFA card from
Rich Dreher, what's that?, you haven't ordered it yet?, then you can
skip the ADT way and use a terminal program with Z-modem and
set up to send lots of images at once and convert them to disk using
Asimov or Disk2File.
Concerning the 2 different worlds issue?, they aren't that different
in operation. Both process instructions, both use serial communication,
both have keyboards, monitors, disk drives, etc........ I'm finding that
once you've familiarized yourself with a computer, they begin to all look
alike. Sorry guys, but they do to me.
Anyway, glad you're finally having fun with it, and that is the most
important thing.
