This is a brief text file describing how to transfer files, including

database and spreadsheet data although the data would probably require some
processing before the Amiga could use it. Equipement needed:
1. Modem cable for the C64/128. This is the type used for Hayes compatable
modems.
2. Null modem rs232 connector.
3. Gender bender rs232 connector.
.The last two items are available at most computer stores for less than $5
each. The gender bender is required because the Amiga rs232 port is a
different sexual orientation than the IBM. It is also helpful to have
separate monitors for each computer although this is not absolutely
necessary. How to:
1. Do not attempt to connect the computers yet.
2. Load a terminal program into each computer and set both for 1200 baud,
xmodem checksum protocal. If you have a C128 and Commodore's vt100.128 program
you can use 2400 baud.
3. Now you can hook up the cabl
