- There's plenty of Shareware terminal programs that work well on this old
- beast. Contact your local MAC User's group. Or, If you have a modem, you can
- probably run the America On-Line and/or Mac-Link/E-World software in this
- machine and download something suitable.

- Sounds like you plugged in into the wrong port. If you buy a copy of a program
- called Mac-Link Plus you will be able to transfer stuff between a Mac and an
- IBM (under DOS). I've used Mac-Link Plus and it works real well..
-
- It would be great if someone (other than our overworked friends at ARDI) would
- cook up a program to transfer 800k Floppies from a Mac (through a Null modem
- cable) to a DOS/LINUX/NEXTSTEP .HFV file. Hint.. Hint...
-
- Hope this helps. If you come up empty in your search for a Public Domain Mac
- Terminal Program, I might be able to scare up a copy of Red Ryder or
- something...
