- I have a friend who owns an Amstrad 8256 with quite a few text files created
- using LocoScript 2. She needs to transport these to either a PC or Mac
- environment. I suggested a simple ASCII transfer via modem. The questions
- we need answers to are:
-
- Do you need a special interface to connect a modem to the 8256.
-
- If so, where do you get it and what price?
-
- If not, how is it connected?
-
- There are enough important files involved to make some reasonable expense
- justifiable, but we hesitate to start purchasing more hardware without some
- reasonable guarantee of success. Has anyone had any experience in this type
- of transfer, either good or bad, and what are your recommendations?
-
- Replies can be posted here or mailed directly to: szurek@vms.cis.pitt.edu
-
- Thanks for your time and trouble.

-
- P.S. if you have an interface for sale, we'd like to hear from you.
