Re: Best way to transfer text files between apple II GS & PC

["The Meikles" <action1@telusplanet.net>]

I think my problem was in how windoze looks at the ports. I could only ever
get one way communications between the GS and my pentium. The Pentium would
see the GS, but the GS couldn't see the pentium. If I can locate software
for my new( well new to me ) LocalTalk card for the PC, I'll just transfer
data that way.
