Dear reader,
Here is an updated version of ][2Mac.
][2Mac is a set of 2 applications, 1 for the Mac and 1 for the Apple-][,
which allows you to convert Apple-][ DOS 3.3 floppies to a Mac in a format
that is recognized by IIe, the Apple //e emulator for the Mac, written by
Victor and Vincent Tan (/info-mac/app/IIe-301.hqx).
The floppy-images are passed from the Apple-][ to the Mac over a serial
cable at 9600 bps. A 35 track floppy will take just a few minutes to
get transferred to the Mac.
The Apple-][ program, written in AppleSoft Basic, expects a CCS-7710
(compatible) serial interface in slot #2. If a different interfaces is
being used or a different slot, then it should not be difficult to
change that.
Since I don't have other interfaces than the one mentioned above I cannot
(yet) support other cards then just this one. If you have another card
or another slot# that you would like to use then:
1) If you want your interface to be in a different slot# then simply use
IN#x (where x is the slot# you have put your serial card in) before
starting to download the Basic-program from the Mac to the Apple-][
and when the download is done change in line 10 of the basic-program
the part that says CCS7710 = 2 into CCS7710 = x (again, x is the new
slot#).
2) Try to use the program as it is now
3) If that fails then sit down behind the Apple-][ and type:
CALL -151
Cx00L (where x is the slot# the card is in)
L
L (keep hitting L until you reach CxFF)
L
while typing the L commands look for data that says like:
LDA $C080,X
or: STA $C081,X
Let me know what you see there...
Also tell me if one of the bigger chips on the interface carries
data that contains the number 6850 (like MC6850)...
Wait for my replies (I WILL GET BACK TO YOU!)....
version history:
14-aug-1996, v0.9b2
-------------------
-Unreadable sectors that are not 'in use' no longer cause the transmission
to abort.
-Fixed a bug that caused out-of-sync errors while transmitting more then 1
Apple-][ disk.
-Out-of-sync errors now also terminate the Apple-][ program.
