Re: Comm program for //GS NOW what to do with the files...

[jmholmes@swbell.net (John)]

Believe it or not, after nosing around on the HD20SC I found a copy of Zlink 
on there (it was burried a couple of levels deep).  It actually works quite 
nicely for talking to the PC via Null Modem though it would be nicer for the 
baud rate to be a bit higher than 19.2K, but I can live with that.  
Fortunately Hyperterminal in Windows supports X and Y modem transfers so can 
swap files from the PC to the GS hard drive that way.  

Now just gotta figure out what to do with a BIN, SDK and DSK files once they 
are on the //GS.  The saga never ends...
