Your saying you //e cant speak to other computers or you cant find a term program to use with a null modem cable.
No, it's exactly the opposite problem. My //e has a working Super Serial Card, and I have already written a couple of programs that allow me to transfer a 5.25" disk to a image file in my PC's hard drive. But the //e has no 3.5" drive. Thus, it can't read 3.5" floppies, nor send the data over a serial line in order for the PC to create the image.
In keeping with the OT'ness I use a program on the amiga that allows it to "host" disks for my C64 so it acts like a C64 hardrive of sorts, not perfect as the client side takes up valuable bytes which are required for some programs but for the main its very useful. Parallel connection.
On windows my choice of emulator is Xgs32, it does a little more than a stock //e and rather useful. I use Gus-GS on the Mac, Same images. :) The mac emulator is faster but not as flexible.
I'm interested in the flash drive, know nothing about it but it makes me think swapping the drive for use with a emulator before it goes back into the //e may be the easist way.
That's exactly what I intend to do if I buy it (at about $110, it's a bit expensive, but maybe it will be a good inversion!). The flash adapter ("CFFA", as it's called in the Apple II world) with a 64 MB CF card can provide two ProDOS partitions (32 Mb is the size limit for a ProDOS partition). Then, you can use the first as the work partition, and the second to copy programs to and from other Compact Flash-enabled computers: as discussed recently in Apple2list, there's a program for Windows, CiderPress, that lets you access ProDOS partitions and disk images, much in the fasion as the know TransMac does with HFS partitions. But I disgress, because using a CFFA with CiderPress doesn't involve a Mac at all, and is clearly off-topic :-( .
$110 is a lot if your short. I think you will get your monies worth out of the investment, I dont see pricing changing for the better in the future as ram development marches on. Ciderpress is either the same or opposite of what I mentioned above. Flash drives have been used on macs in the past so we aren't so off topic for me to care.
Something about ProDOS and Macs..... Sorry way past the end of my day.
Meanwhile, I'll try to create a 800 kb. raw disk image in my Classic I/II to transfer to my PC and then copying the files to my Apple //e using a serial link.
You need to remove parts of the header(?) to make it raw if made by diskcopy you'll find the info in Pickles FAQ's, I dont agree but it may suit your use better than mine. Makes the image useful for rawrite under linux(???) Gamba had something on early disk utilities, might have been Jaghouse, both should be used....
Btw: isn't it fun to use both a 16-bit machine and a 32-bit machine to put data into an 8-bit machine? ;-)
You must understand the past. I care not what brand of washing machine I use. Everything does something better than another yet fail at another task. Fun, indeed my friend. :)
You must have Revival on the pc? ( image utility )
Trying to suggest other options you may get an working idea from.
Thank you! :-)
It works both ways. :) sorry for not cutting, couldnt find anything not worth reading again. ;) Maybe I can UL a HDD image, offlist.
