Re: Apple IIC 2 PC Help!!!
Leonard:
InTrec (sp?), the company that markets ProTerm, used to sell cables
guaranteed to work with Apple II and Mac computers. In fact, I got my IIc
and IIGS high-speed modem cables from them years ago. I misremember the
url, but it should be in the ProTerm manuals. Try give them a shout, see if
they still have IIc-modem cables. Put a fast modem on your IIc, and forget
this pc-transfer headache.
