Well, the're four programs. A send and receive program for both PC and MSX.
With these four programs it's tedious to send and receive data with both
computers.
So if there's a receive program for the MSX, how do you explain the
unidirectional protocol of the MSX-parallel-port? (I'll have to analyze the
assembly-code).
It's not very user-friendly, but it seems to work. What's the other downside
not to use the parallel-ports of both computers?
Greetings,
S. Telgenhof
