Hello!
I'm a life-long Commodore 64 nut, but I've recently collected a couple
of Apples (ok, one Apple IIe, and one Laser 128). I've picked up a
few programs on eBay, but what I really want is to be able to get
files directly from the internet.
I'm an Apple nut with C64 inclinations. xD
I already have familiarity with modem emulation software such as
TCPSER4J which allows me to hook up my Commodore 128D to the internet
for telnet purposes. I use it to call Commodore BBSs and QLink all
the time. I don't currently have a terminal program for the Apple to
do this with my current Apple hardware, however.
I should image what I've got, unless you can find Apple Access somewhere.
What's the easiest way for me to get software from the Internet (I
have no macs) to my new Apples? My only disk drives are the standard
5.25" drives.
You will need a null modem connection. However, the Apple end of the
disk transfer software, ADT, can be easily enough wired down the lines
with the Apple's own firmware so you don't need a terminal program to
transfer it nor to transfer other disks.
Been there, done that.
