Hi
On the cheap side of things you might have or buy:
1: a laplink cable
2: a 25 pin modem cable for the mac.
Plug the two together and you have a null modem cable.
Then use a terminal program on the 2 target computers.
Disk images need to be stuffed before transferring.
The mac works best when you set zterm to receive
otherwise its a no show. Dumb program.
Of course if you have the modem cable for the mac then
email might be easier. The Very handy FAQ can help you
out for either.
Works well for me and is cheap compared to other options
you will always have a use for both cables. Also less frustrating
than floppies if you can remember a few term commands.
Some emulators will use the printer port on the host machine
then you can localtalk, haven't tried basilisk on pc with this yet.
