Re: Transferring Files

["Terry Olsen" <tolsen64@hotmail.com>]

CiderPress, which runs in windows, can read/write to physical Prodos disks. 
(Look in CiderPress help under "Opening a Physical Volume").

I have a SCSI IOMega Zip 250MB hooked up to my GS.   I use it instead of a 
hard drive because I can swap disks, reboot, and have a totally different 
GSOS running.  My BBS runs on a Zip disk that only has Prodos & Metal 
installed.

Anyway, I have a Zip drive in my PC as well.  I can put a Prodos formatted 
Zip disk in the PC and using CiderPress, copy files directly to the Zip 
disk.  Put the Zip disk back in the GS and all the files I copied to it from 
the PC are there.

I can also make 2mg images using Asimov on the GS.  Save the 2mg files to 
the Zip disk, move it over to the PC and, using CiderPress, copy them off 
for use in the emulator.  I used this method to copy Orca C from the real GS 
to the emulator.
