Re: //e PDS card

["Frank Townsend" <ftownsen@nospam.net>]

Roy:

I have my IIe card set up for file transfers to the Mac as follows.

3.5 Unidisk attached to the IIe card cable and two 5.25 drives daisy-chained
to the Unidisk.

Mac Internal HDD partitioned as a Mac drive

Asante En/SC SCSI-Ethernet converter attached to the Mac SCSI port

External SCSI hard drive with a ProDOS and a Mac partition attached to the
Asante SCSI port

The Mac LCIII runs System 7.5.5 and is rigged with MacTCP.

I give the Mac a fixed IP address and run NCSA telnet 2.7b4 which has an FTP
server

This is attached to my little ethernet home network.

To get Apple II files from my PC to the Mac I use CuteFTP to FTP the files
to the Mac after making sure that the Apple II file naming conventions are
followed.  I have never seen a file transferred in this way acquire a
resource fork.

Once on the Mac drive, I use ResEdit to change the creator to pdos and set
the file type as TEXT.  Use <Get File/Folder Info> on the File menu to do
this, not <Open> which will add a resource fork.

Then copy the file to the ProDOS partition or an Apple II floppy in the
SuperDrive.

Boot the IIe card and the file will be there.

It sounds complicated, but once set up, it works every time!
