     Without knowing what lines you have connected in your cable, it's kind of
hard to say if something about your cable is a problem.

     This may help.

     Using ADT-GS (v.91) on the IIgs and ADT-Win on the PC (running under
Windows Me), I did a test transfer and the combination worked fine.

     To get ADT-Win go to GSWV contents page at ...
http://www.apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/gswv/index.html
and click on article about ADT Win


     Here are some details:

o- For the test, IIgs speed was set to Normal (slow).

o- The Control Panel "Modem Port" settings are all at the defaults (all
checkmarked settings).  In "Slots", Slot 2 is set to "Modem Port".

o- The IIgs cable is a standard high speed modem cable described in the FAQs (a
'regular' Mac modem cable also works)
http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2T1TCOM.html#009

o- The NULL modem adaptor is the one described in the FAQs.
http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2T1TCOM.html#006

o- The IIgs modem cable is plugged into the usual Serial Modem Port. The 25-pin
end is plugged into the NULL Modem adaptor. A cable from the PC COM port plugs
into the other side of the NULL modem adaptor.

o- Speed is set to 9600 baud in both ADT programs (ADT-GS does not work
reliably at higher speeds). ADT-Win is set to the COM port being used for the
transfers. (The COM port's settings under Windows are for approx 115k max speed
and hardware handshake flow control.)

o- The target diskette has been Inited; so, it's ready to use. It's in Drive 2
and "Disk" in ADT-GS is set to Drive 2.

o- The disk image (.dsk) file to send is in the same PC directory (folder) as
the ADT-Win program (ADT.exe).
