- Wow, this is a good one. There are several options of how to connect them all
- up together for varying prices / speeds and complexities. But for
- cheapness I would consider checking out the pc ftp sites for a PD PC 'sernet'
- equivalent and just link the two slow pc's together with the serial link. This
- would have to be a TSR driver for DOS giving a pseudo drive. There must be
- such a thing.(i hope) Run this on the Amstrad 300 and the 486.
-
- Buy a 25D - 25D parallel cable and connect the amstrad to the pentium and
- use INTERSERVER on the amstrad and interlink on the pentium. Ala dos 6.
-
- Use the PC2AM software to link the A500 to the pentium. Use psiwin to link
- the PSION to the pentium or the 486. Thus :-

- A500
- PC2AM
