Re: How to... ??? (Prolly a FAQ, but haven't spotted the answer)

Wow, this is almost the exact same problem I had, except with my dumpster
rescued GS.

Here's what you do:

1. Dump DOS 3.3 (which you already did)
2. Download ADTWin (Apple Disk Transfer) from
ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/Emulators/ADTgs91.zip
3. Unzip it into a directory of your choice
4. The kinda difficult part
    4.1 - Select the ADT dump that's right for you
        There's 2 hex dumps of ADT in this distribution, one for SSC or the
Apple hi speed comm card
        4.1.1 - SSC - \SCHLYTER\adt_ss.dmp (dump this like you did with dos)
        4.1.2 - CC - \SCHLYTER\adt_cc.dmp (dump this like you did with dos)
5. Once dumped, ADT will automatically BSAVE itself onto the floppy drive
(use a floppy with at least 20 blocks free space, preferably a freshly
INITed DOS3.3 disk.)
6. BRUN ADT from your the disk
7. Run ADT.EXE on the PC side,
8. Make sure the speed matches on both ends, and that ADT is writing to the
desired drive (it defaults to drive #2, which is incorrect for me)
9. Read the README from the ADTWin distro, and you're on your way!
