Re: Running Apple IIgs software off a pc hard Drive

[Ed Eastman <noone@nowhere.net>]

By connecting the parallel (printer) port of your PC and the Game 
connector of your Igs, the PC can act as sort of a file server.  It will 
allow you to connect a 'disk image file' to your apple II and serve 
files form the disk image.

Do a search on Apple Oasis.

Thankx,
Ed
