- You didn't mention what equipment you have. For instance, if you just have
- a direct connect modem for the Atari, like a 1030, you can log onto a local
- service (like Inter Net) & just mail the files to yourself. Then logon with
- the IBM & download them. If you have an 850 or PR:Connection for the Atari
- then you can just buy a "NULL modem connector" for about $10. If you have
- a modified 1050 disk drive or a double density like Indus, there are a
- couple of utilities for the IBM that will read them. If all you have is a
- stock disk drive & the Atari, there's a way to hook them up via the joystick
- to the IBM serial port, but you need about $3 in parts & a soldering iron.
