Ron,

I read your blog and it reminded me of my frustration with getting
ADTPro to work between my Mac Mini and the Apple IIe I got at an
estate auction. My problem was not only the driver but the USB to
serial converter I was using. When I changed over to a Lindy USB to
serial converter, and the software to run it, things went very smooth.
I'm still using that converter and software with the IIGS I now have
and am happily turning Apple II/IIGS disk images back into real disks
to run on the GS and a IIc that I've also recently bought.
