Re: Apple //c boot disks needed (london, UK)

Peter:
You really only need a NUllmodem cable, Dos or Windows PC, and 5.25" 
floppy diskette to get started.  (I assume you already have internet 
access.)  Download ADT and decompress it on your PC.  REad the manual 
with it.  Hook up a null modem cable between the IIc and PC and send DOS 
using IIc serial port 'terminal' firmware and built in comm software on 
the PC's DOS or Windows.  Format the 5.25" diskette on your apple and 
reboot it.  Next send the ADT program the same way.  Run ADT on both 
computers and away you go!
