It's very easy to do from a DOS environment aswell. Just use a BBS program like HyperTerminal in Windows (I don't know one on Linux, but it should definately be there), and use the terminal program Erix on your MSX. If you set the same baudrate on both sides, and connect both computers using a so-called 'crosscable' or 'null modem link cable', then you can simply use YMODEM transfers to send files from the one computer to the other.
Using Uzix is in this case not really very useful. First off, Uzix is still alpha, so I don't know how well everything will work, and second, you'll most likely be transferring files for DOS, etc. Going to Uzix and back to MSXDOS more or less requires you to reboot, and the files aren't stored on the same drive (Uzix uses another partitioning format), so you've got to copy them with some kind of FTP-like program to your DOS HD first aswell. A more interesting application of Uzix is to browse the internet with it, by setting up your PC as some kind of 'PPP dial in server' (a PPP daemon). For more information, take a look at http://uzix.sf.net/. It has detailed instructions. ~Grauw ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julio Marchi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 8:25 PM Subject: Re: [MSX] communication between msx & tux > > Hi, > > Hi Diederick, > > > I have a linux computer and an msx with a > > Sunrise RS232C interface and a cable and now > > I want to send files to and from them. > > What programs should I use on either computer? > > > > Greetings, > > Diederick de Vries, > > Groningen (Netherlands) > > Maybe you should try Uzix (http://uzix.sourceforge.net/). > I don't know exactly how to do that but I've good reasons to believe > that it works.
