- Hi, out there !
-
-
- For a long time I have been working with an old apple II+ computer and
- developed several programs on it, which I also want to use on my new
- computer - an atari TT.
-
- Unfortunately, I don't have any communication card for my apple II
- - and I don't believe, that I will get one anywhere - so I can't
- transfer any program to the atari ( except by hand ... ).
-
- Trying to find a solution for this problem I had the idea, that it
- must be possible to connect the atari via the RS232-interface to
- the centronics printer interface of the apple II. ( The most files
- I have to transfer are program sources, i.e. ASCII-files ).
- Thus I would transfer my files simply by "printing" them while the
- atari should simulate the printer, but store the incoming characters
- in a local file.
-
- Does anyone know if the two computers can be connected in this manner
- - and if yes, what kind of hard- and software is necessary to do so.
- Another idea would be, to do the transfer to a MS-DOS-computer, because
- the atari is able to read MS-DOS-discs.
-
- If you have any idea, please send your response to the e-mail
- address given above.
-
- Thanks a lot in advance !
