Re: image to disk ?-- ways to transfer
Thanks. That format is not mine, it is from a file I downloaded,
ADTandDOS33dmp.
It looks like you wrote the documentation included (dos33dmpinfo.txt), and
in it you suggest 300 baud with no delays, but also say "using Hyperterm at
2400 baud with the IIgs set at 10MHz (using a 400ms end-of-line delay)."
Based on what we've discussed, isn't 400 ms overkill, especially on a 10MHz
IIgs?
