Re: Problems Transferring Disks With ADT

["Luke Forat" <iceman@nospam.digidude.homeip.net>]

   Tom,

   you really don't need to fiddle with anything in the control panel when 
you are using Windows 2K or XP (but also 98!) so I don't know what the guy 
really meant (your serial ports should be perfectly functional). The ADT PC 
side sets the port according to your selection - the important thing is that 
the port is there and working - similarly you need to set ADT A2 side. I set 
mine up so that I boot from Drive 1 with my ADT transfer disk and use Drive 
2 always as target or source.

   Try downloading the latest ADT2005 which works flawlessly for me @ 115K 
all the time to and from the PC. I have transferred dozens of images to my 
Apple II (unenhanced) with a SSC at 115K and never had a problem. I also 
transferred about a dozen back to my PC (running 2K) also without a single 
problem (the only problem I had was with a long file naming bug with ADT PC 
Side which got fixed soon after I posted the problem - thanks Knut!). I made 
my own Null modem cable as per txt indications and it's pretty long too 
(over 6 feet):

   You can get the fixed ADT2005 here from Knut's site (should be also on 
asimov by now):
