Re: Hooking an Apple //c up to a Mac iici

Thanks -- it did the trick.
However, I've found connection problems beyond a 2400 baud setting with the terminal programs. I'm wondering if my cable is noisy, version of ProTERM isn't up to par, or you just can't expect much more. At any rate, this isn't so bad considering the relatively small files of the Apple //. I'll have to play around with it a bit and see about increasing the speed.

I'm thinking of attaching the Apple //c to the Mac iici via serial cable
or somesuch so I can transfer old files to it, and from there onto my
network.

What do I need in terms of software (on both ends) and hardware (a cable
I assume?).  The Mac is running OS 7.6 or thereabouts.  I have a modem
cable for the Apple //c.  Do I need a special "null modem" cable to hook
it up to the Mac? I've got ProTERM for the Apple //c.  Thanks for any
suggestions.



You can use a null-modem adapter to connect the IIc's modem cable to a Mac
modem cable. Or, if you have an Imagewriter II printer cable for your IIc,
you can use that. Just connect the printer end to your Mac's serial port.

You can use ProTerm on the IIc, and a comm program such as Zterm on the Mac.
Start out with 2400 bps until you see it's working, then you can try to up
the speed some.  It's working if you type stuff on one computer and it
appears on the comm program's screen on the other.
